A continuous foundation with a width of 1 m is located on a slope made of clay

Question:

A continuous foundation with a width of 1 m is located on a slope made of clay soil. Refer to Figure 7.19 and let Df = 1 m, H = 4 m, b = 2 m, γ = 16.8 kN/m3, c = cu = 68 kN/m2, ϕ = 0, and b = 60°.

a. Determine the allowable bearing capacity of the foundation. Let FS = 3.

b. Plot a graph of the ultimate bearing capacity qu if b is changed from 0 to 6 m.
