QUESTIONS: 1. A small villa constructed in Shatti Al Qurum area is resting on footings. One of its square footing of 1.8 m size carries a load intensity of 150 kN/m² at a depth of 1.50 m in a soil having cohesion intercept of 20 kN/m² and the angle of internal resistance is equal to 34º. The saturated unit weight of sub soil is 19.0 kN/m² and unit weight above water table is 17.5 kN/mº. Determine the factor of safety with respect to shear failure for following conditions of soil: i. Water table is 3.8 m below natural ground surface [2.0) ii. Water table in the middle of ground level and the base of the footing. [2.0) iii. Water table is 1.2 m below ground level. [2.0) iv. Water table is 2.0 m below natural ground surface [2.0) Plot a neat graph to show all the results. [1.5) vi. Justify the reason of choosing a particular analysis to solve this problem. [1.5) V.
