Using Terzaghi theory, determine the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing 1.5m wide resting on a saturated clay (C 30kN/m², du = 0, Ysat = 20kN/m³) at a depth of 2m below ground level. The water table is also at a depth of 2m from the ground level. If the water table rises by 1m, calculate the percentage reduction in the ultimate capacity
