A rectangular footing of size 2.8 m × 3.5 m is embedded in a clay layer and a vertical load is placed with an eccentricity of 0.8 m as shown in the figure (not to scale). Take Bearing capacity factors: Nc = 5.14, Nq = 1.0, and Nγ = 0.0; Shape factors: sc = 1.16, sq = 1.0 and sγ = 1.0; Depth factors: dc = 1.1, dq = 1.0 and dγ = 1.0; and Inclination factors: ic = 1.0 and iq = 1.0 and ic = 1.0.
Using Meyerhoff's method, the load (in kN, round off to two decimal places) that can be applied on the footing with a factor of safety of 2.5 is _______.

Correct : 439.00 to 442.00
