A 4 m wide strip footing is founded at a depth of 1.5 m below the ground surface in a c-φ soil as shown in the figure. The water table is at a depth of 5.5 m below the ground surface. The soil properties are: c' = 35 kN/m2, φ' = 28.63°, γsat = 19 kN/m3, γbulk = 17 kN/m3 and γw = 9.81 kN/m3. The values of bearing capacity factors for different φ' are given below:
Using Terzaghi's bearing capacity equation and a factor of safety Fs = 2.5, the net safe bearing capacity (expressed in kN/m2) for local shear failure of the soil is __________
