Question

Transcribed Image Text:A rectangular footing with dimensions of (6 m x 3m) is founded at a depth of 1.5 m from
natural ground surface and carrying a colum that shefted from the footing centroid by (es.
0.75 m and on- 0.5 m). The footing is rested on cohesionless soil with the followin
properties (37 and y- 17.8 kN/m'). What is the net allowable load that can be apllied
on the column with factor of safety of 3 by using Meyerhof's bearing capacity equation.
