3. A foundation with dimensions B × L supporting a column load, P is shown below. The foundation rests on a sandy soil underlain by a clay layer. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement of the clay due to the foundation load. Given: P=350 kN ,B=L=2.5m , Df=2m , Hl=3m , and H2=4.5m. The soil properties are as follows: Sand: ya = 16.4kN/m³; Ysat = 18.8 kN/m³ Clay: Ysat = 17.6 kN/m³; eo = 0.82; LL = 48; normally consolidated (Use Ao = BL at the middle of the clay layer.)
