The shallow foundation shown in Figure 3.19 measures 1.2m X 1.8 m and is subjected to a centric load and a moment. If and the depth of the foundation is 1 m, determine the allowable load the foundation can carry. Use a factor of safety of 3. For the soil, we are told that unit weight friction angle φ’ = 35°, and cohesion c’ = 0
