Question: A rectangular footing of 2 . 5 m 3 . 0 m has a foundation depth of 1 . 5 m as shown in the

A rectangular footing of 2.5m3.0m has a foundation depth of 1.5 m as shown in the Figure Q2 below. The footing has an eccentricity e=0.35m and a maximum base pressure of qmax=410kNm2. The soil foundation has a cohesion value of 30kNm2, an angle of internal friction of 30,O?=30,Nc=30.14,Nq=18.4,N=15.7 and a saturated unit weight of sat=21kNm3. Consider the effects of groundwater table, use Meyerhof bearing capacity to calculate the following:
