Consider a continuous foundation of width B = 1.4 m on a sand deposit with c' = 0, ϕ' = 38°, and γ = 17.5 kN/m³. The foundation is subjected to an eccentrically inclined load (see Figure 6.33). Given: load eccentricity e = 0.15 m, D_f = 1 m, and load inclination γ = 18°. Estimate the failure load Q_u(ei) per unit length of the foundation

a. For a partially compensated type of loading [Eq. (6.89)]

b. For a reinforced type of loading [Eq. (6.90)]
