A square footing supporting a column applies a uniform pressure of 100 kPa on top of a deep clay deposit. Based on the bulbs of pressure developed below the footing shown in the following figure, which of the following statements are correct (select all that apply)? A.Immediately after construction, the excess pore water pressure (∆u) developed at Point A remains lower than ∆u developed at Point B B.Immediately after construction, the excess pore water pressures (∆u) developed at Points B and C are the same C.Since the clay layer is homogeneous, one-dimensional Terzaghi’s theory of consolidation can be applied to provide an accurate estimate of the rate of consolidation at Points A, B, and C. D.After construction, three-dimensional seepage occurs below the foundation as the excess pore water pressures dissipate.
