Question: It is requested to determine the safe support load capacity, qnet ( FS = 3 ) of a sandhomogeneous for a rectangular footing 2 .

It is requested to determine the safe support load capacity, qnet (FS =3) of a sandhomogeneous for a rectangular footing 2.5 m wide and 4 m long located at2.0 m depth using the general Meyerhof equation. The water tablematches the foundation level. The unit weight of the soil above the NF is 18kN/m^3 and the one below the NF corresponds to 20 kN/m^3. The resistance parameters ofthe sand are C =0 and angle=30\deg . Consider that the resultant of the load acts at 0.10 mfrom the center and has an inclination of 10\deg with respect to the vertical.
