A square footing of 4 m side is placed at 1 m depth in a sand deposit. The dry unit weight (γ) of sand is 15 kN/m3. This footing has an ultimate bearing capacity of 600 kPa. Consider the depth factors: dq = dγ = 1.0 and the bearing capacity factor: Nγ = 18.75. This footing is placed at a depth of 2 m in the same soil deposit. For a factor of safety of 3.0 as per Terzaghi's theory, the safe bearing capacity (in kPa) of this footing would be _______.

Explanation

Correct : 240 to 240 or 250 to 250 or 270 to 270
