(5) There is a strip footing with a width of 2 m and a buried depth of 1.5 m. The foundation soil is silt with a unit weight of 19 kN/m', a saturated unit weight of 20 kN/m², cohesion of 10 kPa, and an internal friction angle of 20°. The groundwater level is I m below the ground surface. Please determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation. (
Question 3. A strip footing is to be used in a clay soil in which the imposed load is 1 MN/m length. The clay layer is 7.0 m thick and overlies a stiff, fractured siltstone. The water table lies at a depth of 2.0 m. a. Determine the footing width based on the long-term allowable bearing capacity (calculated according to the method in the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual; neglect depth factors) using a factor of safety of 3.0 for a burial depth of 2.0 m.
