Q- A strip footing (8m wide) is designed for a total settlement of 40mm in cohesive soil. The safe bearing capacity (shear) was 150kN/m² and safe allowable soil pressure was 100kN/m². Due to importance of the structure, now the footing is to be redesigned for total settlement of 25mm. Find the new width of the footing.
