A 2.0 m x 2.0 m square pad footing will be placed in a normally consolidated clay soil to carry a column load Q. The depth of the footing is 1.0 m. The soil parameters are: c' = 0, $' = 26°, y=19 kN/m?, and Cu = 60 kN/m2. Determine the maximum possible value for Q if a factor of safety of 3 is required.
