A circular footing is to be constructed below the ground surface, as shown in the figure below. The
groundwater table is located at the ground surface and the subsoil consists of a uniform deposit of
soft, loose soil. The saturated unit weight is 118#ft3, the cohesion is 176#ft2 and the depth of the
footing, Df is to be 6 feet. Determine the dimension of the footing (in feet - to nearest tenth) for a
design load of 16 kips to be imposed on this footing, and a factor of safety of 2.0 is used.
