Question: A 3 m 3 m square concrete footing is given in the figure. Given: D = 2 m and P = 5 0 0 0

A 3m3m square concrete footing is given in the figure.
Given:
D=2m and P=5000kN as shown
Ysoil=20kNm3,c'=15kPa,'=30
The groundwater table is at 15 meters below the ground surface.
Use the average unit weight of soil and concrete to calculate the weight of the footing. (Yconcrete=24kNm3).
1.a (15P) Calculate qult with Vesic's formula.
1.b (15P) Calculate qoll for FS (factor of safety)=2 and check whether the footing is safe against a bearing capacity failure for FS =2.
A 3 m 3 m square concrete footing is given in the
