weighing 18 kN/m3
and having an angle of shearing resistance of 36° (Nγ = 46, Nq= 43). Factor of safety is 3.
What will be the modification in the result, if the footingmay be placed at a depth of 1 m below ground
surface ? Assume, in this case, the water table may rise tothe ground surface. γ′ = 9 kN/m3
