Question: Example 1 4 . 1 5 : A column carries a load of 1 0 0 0 kN . The soil is a dry sand

Example 14.15: A column carries a load of 1000 kN . The soil is a dry sand weighing 19kNm3
and having an angle of internal friction of 40. A minimum factor of safety of 2.5 is required
and Terzaghi factors are required to be used. (N=42 and Nq=21).
(i) Find the size of a square footing, if placed at the ground surface; and,
(ii) Find the size of a square footing required if it is placed at 1 m below ground surface
with water table at ground surface. Assume sat=21kNm3.
