A large scale bearing capacity test on a footing of size 1.05 m $\times$ 1.05 m at a depth of 1.5 m yielded an ultimate value of 141 kN. Unconfined compression tests on the soft saturated clay yielded strength of 0.33 N/$m{m}^2$. If the unit weight of the soil is 1.6 g/cc, how much does the test value differ from that obtained using Terzaghi's bearing capacity equation?
