Question: Granular upper layer q u l t = p 0 * N q * * * s q * * + 1 2 * *

Granular upper layer
qult=p0*Nq***sq**+12**B*N***s**
2,5 meters wide by 3 meters long footing
Since it is a granular layer, it is assumed that cohesion is 0(c=0kPa ) and friction angle is 35a
The soil's specific weight =19.0kNm3.
The footing is embedded at 1.2m below natural soil
The distance from the support level to the rigid layer is 2.5m.
No water
Estimate collapse pressure
Granular upper layer q u l t = p 0 * N q * * * s
