Scenario  

The wall footing at right is to be constructed to carry an inclined load at 85 degrees with the horizontal, as shown. Assume that there is impenetrable bedrock below the Sample point shown in the figure. 

1) Calculate the expected primary settlement of the soil at the Sample point. Also, determine the time it will take for 60% of the expected primary settlement to occur. 

2) Determine the factor of safety against bearing failure of the soil for the wall footing if qult of the soil is 160 kN/m2.
