Question: A circular footing with diameter 2 . 2 m is found on a saturated stiff overconsolidated clay with ysat = 1 9 , undrained shear

A circular footing with diameter 2.2m is found on a saturated stiff overconsolidated clay with ysat=19, undrained shear strength cu=100kPa and effective shear strength parameters c=15kPa and 20 degrees The water table coincides with the surface of the soil and a uniform surcharge equal to 10kPa is applied on the soil surface. Calculate the short-term and long-term
safety factor using the Meyerhof methodology for a vertical load equal to 1000kN (it includes the
weight of the footing).
