HW Problem $2$

Given:

A square footing shown on

the right has the following

soil properties and

dimensions. The water table

is above the base of the

footing.

$=16k\frac{N}{m^3}$

${}_{\text{s}\text{a}\text{t}}=18\mathrm{.}9k\frac{N}{m^3}$

$c=17k\frac{N}{m^2}$

$=32$

$D_f=1\mathrm{.}2m$

$D=0\mathrm{.}3m$

$B=1\mathrm{.}75m$

Find:

Allowable bearing capacity $(q_{\text{a}\text{l}\text{l}})$ for a FS of $3\mathrm{.}5.$
