In the following example, a rectangular foundation must be designed whose B/L ratio must be equal to 0.5.The ultimate allowable load Qadm that must be transmitted to the ground is 520 KN, using a safety factor of 2.0. Designing with Meyerhoff theory, assume that the soil undergoes a general shear failure process. For this problem, propose values of B and L that meet the B/L ratio until Qadm is found to be equal to 520 kN.
