Ground water level is at \( 1.5 \mathrm{~m} \). A \( 1.5 \mathrm{~m} \) diameter round pad footing is to be constructed on the above soil profile with the base of the footing at \( 1 \mathrm{~m} \) below surface in the silty CLAY layer. If the footing applies a contact pressure of \( 300 \mathrm{kPa} \), determine the distribution of foundation pressure versus depth and plot on the same graph as the overburden pressure profiles.
