If P kg/m

^{2}

is the upward pressure on the slab of a plain concrete footing whose projection on either side of the wall is a cm, the depth of foundation D is given by
A. D = 0.00775 a

√P

B. D = 0.0775 a

√P

C. D = 0.775P

√a

Solution:

The depth of foundation (D) is given by

D = 0.0077 ∝ √P

P = Upward pressure on the slab (kg/cm

^{2}

)
∝ → Plain concrete footing projection on either side of the wall
