A 1.5m square foundation is founded at a depth of 1.5m below ground level in a deep(a)layer of uniform sand. The shear strength parameters are c'=0 and o'=36.0°. yo = 14KN/m3 andYsat = 18KN/m³ . Calculate the ultimate bearing resistance of the foundation when: (i) The water table is at great depth (ii) The water table is 1.5m bgl (i.e. at foundation level) (iii) The water table is at ground level
