a footing supporting is at depth of 2 m. the footing has an area
of 5m*12m. the results of pressure meter tests at the site are as
flows:
PL is changing with depth given in the below figure. GWT is 1m
below the ground, assuming unifoırm strength of soil to a
considerable depth.
determine the allowable bearing capacity for a FS=3. the
foudnation soil is clay with unit weight = 20 kN/m3.
