A 1.65m wide square footing is embedded 1.81m beneath the ground surface. The soil about the ground water table has a unit weight of 16.79 kN/m3, saturated unit weight of 19.86 kN/m3, and an unconfined compressive strength of 134 kPa (hint: half of this is the cohesion). The angle of internal friction is 18 degrees. The load acting on the column are given below. Assume a plan view where B is parallel to x-axis and L is parallel to the y-axis Vertical axial load = 256kN My = 65kNm Mx = 40kNm The groundwater table is 0.65m above the base of the footing. The factor of safety is 3.0. The Meyerhof bearing capacity factors are given below: What is the gross allowable bearing capacity (kPa)? 620.356 570.263 622.791 562.204 None of the choices 621.438 Please answer this asap.

- Vertical axial load = 256kN
- My = 65kNm
- Mx = 40kNm
The groundwater table is 0.65m above the base of the footing. The factor of safety is 3.0.
The Meyerhof bearing capacity factors are given below:
