A strip footing will be constructed to support the wall of a building. The load of the
footing will be 200,000lbs(890kN). The load is inclined by 2 degrees. The footing
will be constructed in a deposit of clay with an undrained shear strength of 10
(68.95kPa) and a total unit weight of 125pcf(19.6kNm3). The bottom of the
footing will be 3ft below the ground surface and the footing dimensions will be 5.0
ft80.0ft. Calculate the Factor of Safety of the strip footing with respect to bearing
capacity. Assume the water table is very far below the ground surface.
