Question: Using Terzaghi's equation, evaluate the net allowable bearing capacity ( in kPa ) of a circular footing with a diameter of 2 . 9 m

Using Terzaghi's equation, evaluate the net allowable bearing capacity (in
kPa ) of a circular footing with a diameter of 2.9 m . The depth of foundation is
1.3 m which is of the same level as the water table. The soil has certain
strength characteristics:
Cohesion, c'=17kPa
Angle of internal friction, '=32
Nc=44.05;Nq=29.01;N=26.39
Unit weight of soil, moist=18.00kNm3
Submerged unit weight of soil, sub=10.77kNm3
Final answer in 4 decimal places.
Using Terzaghi's equation, evaluate the net
