initial void ratio, e0 = 1.2375

undrained shear strength, Cu = 450 pcf

A circular footing with a radius of r = 4.0 ft will be embedded D = 2 ft in uniform clay. The top
of the foundation is at the surface. The water table is at the ground surface.
Estimate the bearing capacity qult of the footing, if undrained loading conditions are the most
important to consider for the clay deposit. For simplicity, assume that the initial void ratio and
undrained shear strength are uniform with depth.
