An eccentrically loaded foundation is

shown in Figure. Use FS of $3$ and determine

the maximum allowable load that the

foundation can carry. Use Meyerhof's

effective area method. Define effective

area, draw base pressure diagram$($s$).$ a$)$

Assume that the ground water table is at

$4$ m depth below the base of the foundation.

b$)$ assume that the ground water table is

at the base of foundation.
