Question: A strip footing with a width equal to B = 1 . 5 m and a height H = 0 . 5 m is found

A strip footing with a width equal to B=1.5m and a height H=0.5m is found on a silty soil at a depth of D=1.2m. The soil has a unit weigh y=17.5kN/m and its shear strength parameters are: cohesion c=10kPa and angle of internal friction =25\deg .
a) Using the Meyerhof methodology calculate:
i. the ultimate bearing capacity of the footing;
ii. the safety factor against bearing capacity failure.
b) Using the EC7 methodology calculate:
i. the ultimate bearing capacity of the footing;
ii. the safety factor against bearing capacity failure.Q=350kN(per running meter)
A strip footing with a width equal to B = 1 . 5 m
