7. Question

To build a bridge footing in sand, the level of groundwater is at the surface of the ground. What type of soil unit weight will be the ultimate bearing capacity dependent on?

When building a bridge footing in sand and the groundwater is at the level of the ground, the ultimate capacity weight will depend on the buoyant unit weight.
When building a bridge footing in sand and the groundwater is at the level of the ground, the ultimate capacity weight will depend on the saturated unit weight.
When building a bridge footing in sand and the groundwater is at the level of the ground, the ultimate capacity weight will depend on the dry unit weight.
When building a bridge footing in sand and the groundwater is at the level of the ground, the ultimate capacity weight will depend on the total unit weight.
