Question: A rectangular foundation ( 4 . 5 m 3 . 0 m ) for a bridge high ) , placed 1 . 5 m below

A rectangular foundation (4.5m3.0m) for a bridge high), placed 1.5m below the soil surface.
The foundation has to support the bridge column with a vertical load of 3000kN with eccentricity of
0.25m, and the lateral load is 10kN(height of 5m).
1- Calculate the net allowable bearing capacity of the foundation shown in the figure below.
2- Using a safety factor of 3.0, check whether the footing is safe to carry the loads shown below or
not.
Note:
Draw neat sketches.
