Question: Example 1 4 . 1 9 : Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity, according to the Brinch Hansen's method, of a rectangular footing 2 m 3

Example 14.19: Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity, according to the Brinch Hansen's
method, of a rectangular footing 2m3m, at a depth of 1 m in a soil for which =18kNm2,
c=20kNm2, and =20. The ground water table is lower than 3 m from the surface. The total
vertical load is 1350 kN and the total horizontal load is 75 kN at the base of the footing.
Hansen's factors for =20 are Nc=14.83,Nq=6.40, and N=3.54. Determine also the factor
safety.
