Chapter 7, Problem 7.18QPP

A building column carries factored ultimate loads of 5,500 kN vertical and 1,200 kN horizontal. The column is founded on a 1.5 m square footing at a depth of 1.7 m. The soil is a cohesionless sand with $\varphi \text{'}=32°$ and $\gamma =18.8{\text{kN/m}}^{\text{3}}.$ The water table is at a depth of 6 m. Using LRFD with an active earth pressure load factor of 1.5, determine if this footing satisfies requirements for sliding.
