(D, ) is 1.5 m and the width (B) of the foundation is 2 m. Using Terzaghi's bearing capacity factors, determine the ultimate bearing capacity (q) and net ultimate bearing capacity (qu(net )) before the general shear failure occurs in soil. (2) Refer to problem (1). If a square footing with dimension 2 m x 2 m is used instead of the wall footing, what is the ultimate bearing capacity (q.) and net ultimate bearing capacity (qu(net ) before the general shear failure occurs in soil.
