Problem #4
A square footing is to be constructed at a depth 3.6m below ground surface on a sandy c soil with a cohesion c, of 57.5kNm2, and density of 1760kgm3. With a factor of safety 3, and Nc=10,Nq=4, and N=2, estimate the size of the footing using Terzaghi's formla. Assume the water table is way below ground surface. Load applied on footing is 800 KN.
