Consider a continuous (strip) footing with a depth of 1.5 m and a width of 5 m. The soil has a moist unit
weight of 19.7 kN/m^3, a drained cohesion of 19 kPa, and a drained friction angle of 31 degrees. If designing to a
factor of safety of 4, find the gross allowable load per unit area (qall, assuming shear failure and using Terzaghis
bearing capacity factors).
