Q2: Compute the total stresses, which induced from geostatic stress and increase vertical stress from circular foundation under points A and B to 3 and 6 m depth from the base of the foundation. The foundation was constructed at 2.0 m below the natural ground level (NGL). The surface load intensity is 330 kN/m². R1= 4, (calculate R2 from the drawing, do not assume it). Assume any other parameter you need in your answer.

Calculate the nominal bearing capacity of the shallow foundation using the Vesić formula. The foundation base is embedded at a depth of 1.5 ft under the soil surface. The water table is at the soil surface. The total unit weight of the soil is 109 lb/ft3, and the unit weight of the concrete is 145 lb/ft3 . Therefore, the undrained shear strength of soil is cu=2000 lb/ft2 . The width of the foundation is 10 ft, and the length is 14 ft, while the foundation base height is 1 ft. A vertical force acts at the foundation's axis on the top of the foundation base, P=450 kips, and a horizontal force, H=50 kips, acts perpendicular to the foundation length at 2 ft from the foundation bottom.
