A circular footing is 3.18 meters in diameter. The bottom of the footing is 2.95 m. below the ground surface. Moist unit weight of soil is 17.72 kN/m3, Saturated unit weight is 20.66 kN/m3. Cohesion of soil is 93 kPa. Use Nc = 25.28, Nq = 12.57, Ny = 8.8. If the ground water table is located at a depth of 1.49 meters from the ground surface, determine the allowable load (in kN) that the footing can carry. FS = 3. Round off to two decimal places.

A circular footing is 3.18 meters in diameter. The bottom of the footing is 2.95 m. below the ground surface. Moist unit weight of soil is 17.72 kN/m3, Saturated unit weight is 20.66 kN/m3. Cohesion of soil is 93 kPa. Use Nc = 25.28, Nq = 12.57, Ny = 8.8. If the ground water table is located at a depth of 1.49 meters from the ground surface, determine the allowable load (in kN) that the footing can carry. FS = 3.
