A vertical column load, P = 600 kN, is applied to a rigid square concrete foundation. The foundation rests at a depth Df= 0.75 m on a uniform dense sand with the following properties: average modulus of elasticity, Es = 20,600 kN/m², and Poisson's ratio, µs = 0.3.

Help me, I can’t seem to get this.
Q 1) A concrete foundation rests on the surface of a soil mass. Determine the vertical stress increase at point A. 4 m 1 m 1.5 m PLAN 1.5 m Fondation Load 3000 KN 2 m SECTION A Soil
refer to the figure below. Determine the average stress increase in the clay layer below the center of the foundation due to the net foundation load of 50 tons.
Estimate the increase in vertical stress at 0.5 m depth intervals, within the clay layer, below point A (See figure below). The foundation exerts a uniform vertical stress of 120 kPa at ground level. Using these values estimate the settlement due to the clay layer.

this is complete question. nothing is missing
A normally consolidated clay layer 4.38 m. thick has a void ratio of 1.06. Liquid limit is equal to 37 and the average effective stress on the clay layer was 79 kPa. The average stress on it is increased to 117 kPa. as result of the construction of a foundation. If the clay layer is preconsolidated, compute the consolidation settlement in millimeters if the preconsolidation pressure is 138 KPa. Use Cs = 1/6Cc.
please solve.
answer in 3 decimal places ty :)
Problem II. The initial principal stresses at a certain depth in a clay soil are 100 kPa on the horizontal plane and 50 kPa on the vertical plane. Construction of a surface foundation induces additional stresses consisting of a vertical stress of 45 kPa, a lateral stress of 20 kPa, and a counterclockwise (with respect to the horizontal plane) shear stress of 40 kPa. a. Plot Mohr's circle (1) for the initial state of the soil and (2) after construction of the foundation. b. Determine the change in magnitude of the principal stresses. C. the change in maximum shear stress d. the change in orientation of the principal stress plane resulting from the construction of the foundation.
