Find the allowable capacity of the belled caisson shown in Fig. 35.9. The diameter of the bottom of the bell is 4 m and the height of the bell is 2 m. The diameter of the shaft is 1.8 m and the height of the shaft is 10 m. The cohesion of the clay layer is 100 kN/m². The adhesion factor, α was found to be 0.55. Ignore the skin friction in the bell and one diameter of the shaft above the bell.
