Please show step by step. Thank you.
Shallow square footing is resting on a dry cohesionless soil. If the groundwater table moves from great depth to ground surface and axial load of the column moves from centroid to ex = B/3 how will affect bearing capacity (Df = 0). Assume unite weight of soil is 124.8 pcf.
therefore the bearing capacity will decrease by atleast one third from the normal under the prevailing conditions
