2. For a 50-story (above the ground) building with 4 floors of basement (D = 12.0 m), the average floor weight (including dead load and live load) is 15 kN/m². Assume the height of each floor of the basement is 3 m (including the thickness of the slab). The mat foundation (with a dimension of 30 m x 20 m) is situated in a thick clay layer with a saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m³ and an undrained shear strength (Su) of 30 kPa (remains constant with depth). In addition, the clay has an effective friction angle o' = 28° while c' = 0. Answer the following questions: (A) Would the mat foundation of the building be fully compensated? (B) The factor of safety for bearing capacity in a short-term condition. (C) The factor of safety for bearing capacity in a long-term condition. (Use FS = qu(net)/q, where the generalized bearing capacity equation is given by qu(net) = c'NcFcs Fcd Fci + YDNqFqsFqa Fai + 0.5yB Ny Fys Fya Fyi - YDf and q is the net average applied pressure on soil).
