1 For the square foundation below determine: a) ultimate settlement and b) settlement after 140 days due to consolidation of the clay layer. Base your calculations on the values at the midpoint of the layer. 8 ft 12 ft 8 ft 16 ft q=2200 psf SAND (COARSE) Yo 110 pcf W-0.08 G₁= 2.65 ROCK e=0.6 CLAY (NORM.CONSOL.) c, = 0.15 ft/day C₂ = 0.42 @p=1.2 G₁ =2.57 a) Sult = D.126 ft 5140 = 0.087 ft 2. Assume that the moist unit weight of sand in Problem 1 to be 122 lb/ft, the saturated unit weight of sand 130 and clay 120 lb/ft'. What should be the thickness of a soil layer of a unit weight of 120 lb/ft' that would cause consolidation settlement of 0.1 ft in 100 days? H = 4.8 ft
