A 2.0 m x 2.0 m square pad footing will be placed in a nor- mally consolidated clay soil to carry a column load Q. The depth of the footing is 1.0 m. The soil parameters are: c' = 0, o' = 26°, y = 19 kN/m³, and c, = 60 kN/m?. Determine the maximum possible value for Q, considering short-term and long-term stability of the footing.
