A square footing that is vertically and concentrically loaded is to be placed and cohesion-less soil as shown in the figure. What is the allowable bearing capacity with factor of safety of 3 using terzaghi method. Assume the water content of soil adjacent to ground surface is about 10%. see another with factor of safety of 2.5
Unit weight of materials used in Construction The unit weight of materials is an important factor to consider in engineering and construction projects. It refers to the weight of a material per unit volume, typically
