A rectangular footing has a size of 2.0m4m has to transmit the load of a column at a depth of 1.5m. Calculate the safe load which the footing can carry at a factor of safety of 3 against shear failure. Use IS code method. The soil has following properties: Porosity, n=45%; Specific Gravity, G=2.65; water content, w=18%; Cohesion, c=12kNm2; Angle of shearing resistance =32; For =32,Nc=36;Nq=23 and Nr=30. Compare it with Terzaghi's theory also.
