Q-2(10 Points)
A 2m wide continuous foundation is placed at Df=1m, within a 1.5m thick sand layer that is underlain by a weaker clay layer. The soil properties are as follows:
Upper sand layer : Unit weight, =18kNm3 and '=38
Lower clay layer : Unit weight, =19kNm3, and Cohesion (C)=25Knm2
Determine the maximum wall load that can be allowed (Qall) on the foundation with FS=3.
