A shallow continuous foundation is to be constructed on a soil under the ground'. surface as shown in the figure below. Determine the gross allowable bearing capacity with a factor of safety FS = 3. All dimensions in meter. Comment of the effect of placing the footing at the ground surface (i.e. Dr= 0) on the computed allowable bearing capacity. Take Neg as 5. 2.8 1.4 I G.S. 30 1.4 Yson = 17.7 kN/m = 30° C= 40 KN/m? A shallow continuous foundation is to be constructed on a soil under the ground'. surface as shown in the figure below.
