Suggest an optimum footing size and shape (minimum area footing), if the vertical loading (includingthe weight of the footing) is 40 kips, and the soil has the following characteristics: c=200 psf, φ=370,and γ=120.0 lb/ft 3. Constraints of the solution are: the maximum dimension of any side of thefooting is 10 ft, and the depth of embedment is between 2 and 4 ft.
