Question: For the concrete block shown in Figure . Determine the safety factor against shear failure (L = 5 m). Use the general bearing capacity equation

For the concrete block shown in Figure . 

Determine the safety factor against shear failure (L = 5 m). Use the general bearing capacity equation and the unit weight of concrete is equal to 24 kN/m².


q=2 y= 18 kN/m c = 20 kPa 

q=2 y= 18 kN/m c = 20 kPa
