Question:

A continuous foundation having a width of 1.5 m is placed at 1.0 m depth within a loose sand deposit where ϕ' = 32° and γ = 17.0 kN/m3. This sand is underlain by a thick dense sand deposit (ϕ' = 40° and γ = 18.0 kN/m3) at 2.5 m depth below the ground level. Determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the foundation.
