A plate load test was carried out on a sand soil at the expected foundation depth on a circular plate of 45 cm diameter. Failure of the soil below plate occurred when the applied load on plate reached 734 kg. If a square footing of 3 m width is going to be constructed on the same soil and at the same testing depth, what will be the allowable bearing capacity in kg/cm2. (Take F.S = 3).
