Question #2: (5). Determine the allowable bearing pressure for a circular footing, 5m in diameter, situated in sand at a depth of 2m. The sand has an internal angle of friction of 34, an apparent cohesion of 5kPa, a total unit weight above the water table of 18.75kNm3 and a saturated unit weight of 20.4kNm3. The groundwater table is assumed to be 2m below surface. Use a factor of safety of 3.
