Question: Q 1 . For a continuous foundation, the following are given: a B = 4 f t ( width ) , D t = 3

Q1. For a continuous foundation, the following are given:
a B=4ft(width),Dt=3ft(depth),y=110lbft3,3=25,c'=600lb/ft^2
b.B=2m(width),Dt=1m(depth),=17kNm3,2=30,c'=0
Use Terzaghi and Vesic Equations and a factor of safety of 4 to determine the allowable
bearing capacity. Assume that general shear failure occurs in soil.
