    The document provides instructions for three shallow foundation design problems. The first asks to design the dimensions of a square footing to support a 1500 kN column load, placed 1.2m below ground in medium dense sandy soil. The second asks to design the diameter of a circular footing to support the same load, placed 1m below ground in clay soil with a water table at the footing base. The third asks to determine the allowable load for a 1m x 1m square foundation on sand, located 0.4m above a rock layer, using a factor of safety of 3.

    1. Design the dimension of square footing to carry a column load 1500 kN. The base of footing
    will be placed at 1.2 m below the level of surrounding ground surface and the minimum factor
    of safety 2.5 is required. Soil around the footing is medium dense sandy soil with φ′ = 35°
    and the total unit weight of soil γt = 19.0 kN/m3. The water table is far below the footing level
    and you can ignore its effect.

    2. Design the diameter of a circular footing to carry a column load of 1500 kN. The base of the
    footing will be placed at 1.0 m below the level of surrounding ground surface and the minimum
    factor of safety 2.5 is required. Soil around the footing is clay with unconfined compression
    strength of 100 kN/m2 and the total unit weights of soil γt = 18.2 kN/m3. The water table is
    at the footing base level.

    3. A square foundation measuring 1.0 × 1.0 m is constructed on a layer of sand. We are given
    that Df = 1.0 m, γ = 15 kN/m3, ϕ′ = 35°, and c′ = 0 kPa. A rock layer is located at depth
    0.4 m below the bottom of the foundation. Using a factor of safety of 3, determine the gross
    allowable load the foundation can carry.
