A structural engineer finished a design of a library. They determine that each column will carry 1000 lbs. the soil beneath the footing has the properties: gamma= 130 pcf, c= 75psf, phi= 40 degrees. The groundwater table is of great depth so it’s no concern. Sketch figures. What is the minimum size of the footing for a factor of safety of 3? Case 1: assume square footing Case 2: assume round footing
