Determine the factor of safety against bearing capacity


The foundation (base) of a long retaining wall is required to support the load (including self-weight of the base and the wall) and moment (this comes from the lateral loads on the wall) shown in Figure P12.14. Determine the factor of safety against bearing capacity failure. Would the settlement of the base be uniform? Discuss your answer.
