Revisions are shown in red.


Question 35:
The question should read as follows:
A strip footing having a width B = 2 ft is to be constructed at ground surface (Df = 0).
Underlying the footing is sand having the following bearing capacity factors: Nc = 0,
N = 25, and Nq = 20. The unit weight of sand () = 120 pcf.
Recalling that qult = cNc + D f N q + 0.5 BN, the ultimate bearing capacity qult (psf) of
the footing is most nearly:
A. 1,200
B. 2,400
C. 3,000
D. 4,800
Question 39:
Line 1 in the list of data should read as follows:
Station of PVI = 30+00
