A rectangular footing for a utility shed is to be placed above point A and will be uniformly loaded. The pressure on the soil will be 150kNm2(q). A 4m diameter treatment tank exists. The pressure on the soil from the treatment tank is 250kNm2. The soil at point A can withstand a maximum stress increase of 60kNm2. Assume the proposed shed is constructed rapidly. Are the structures safe? (Will the soil at point A resist failure?)
