A square footing 1.5m X 1.5m is located at a depth of 1.0m. The soil has the following properties: γ = 17.5kN/m3, c= 20kN/m2 and Φ = 34o. The footing base and ground are horizontal. if the horizontal component of the weight = 20kN acting at the height of 4m parallel to the side of footing, and vertical component is 500kN, determine ultimate bearing capacity and factor of safety. using Hansen’s analysis
