A spread footing supported on a sandy soil has been designed using ASD to support a certaincolumn load with a factor of safety of 2.5 against a bearing capacity failure. However, there issome uncertainty in both the column load, P, and the friction angle, f. Which would have thegreatest impact on the actual factor of safety: an actual P that is twice the design value, or actualf that is half the design value? Use bearing capacity computations with reasonable assumedvalues to demonstrate the reason for your response.
