A 3 m wide continuous footing shown in the figure supports a wall load of 450 kN/m. The groundwater table is at the same level as the ground surface. Compute the following: 450 kN/m 1.5 m 3m Water table $' = 20° c' = 30 kPa y = 19.8 kN/m³ a) The bearing pressure b) The ultimate bearing capacity by using Terzaghi's formula c) Check it for the design of the foundation (FS=3) Note: Use the average unit weight of the soil and concrete for Wf. (Yconcrete = 24kN/m³) A 3 m wide continuous footing shown in the figure supports a wall load of 450 kN/m. The groundwater table is at the same level as the ground surface.
