Determine the dimension of this proposed footing

Reference no: EM13548080

A proposed square footing carrying a total load of 900 kips is to be constructed on a uniform thick deposit of cohesionless soil. The soil's unit weight is 135 pcf, and its angle of internal friction is 38 degrees. The depth of the footing is to be 4 feet. Determine the dimension of this proposed footing, using a factor of safety of 3.
