    This document is an exam for a foundation engineering course consisting of 4 questions worth a total of 40 marks. Question 2 asks students to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of a strip footing in two scenarios where the groundwater table is located at different depths. Question 3 describes causes of negative skin friction and how to estimate it, or alternatively describes under-reamed piles and their needs and precautions. Question 4 asks students to illustrate determining a slope's factor of safety using the friction circle method, or alternatively explain different types of slope failures and methods for improving slope stability, and then calculates the factor of safety for a canal slope under two conditions.
