Question: ( 1 . ) A . A large scale bearing capacity test on a footing of size 1 . 0 5 m 1 . 0

(1.) A.
A large scale bearing capacity test on a footing of size 1.05m1.05m at a depth
of 1.5 m yielded an uitimate value of 141.0 kN . Unconfined compression test on the soft saturated clay
yielded a strength of 0.03Nmmm2. If the unit weight of the soil is 1.6gcc, how much does the test value
differ from that obtained using Terzaghi's bearing capacib equation?
