A circular foundation 2m in diameter is shown in the figure below. A normally consolidated clay layer 5m thick is located below the foundation. Determine the consolidation settlement of the clay. method 2:1 (1) As one layer of clay of 5m thick: - Divide the clay layer into (5) sub-layers each of 1m thick: (2) Calculation of increase of stress below the center of each sub-layer Ao- (): (3) Weighted average pressure increase (Simpson's rule): Circular foundation diameter B- 2m G.S. 1.0m Sand q =150 kN/m² y = 17 kNhm? 0. 5m W.T. Sand 0. Sm Normally consolidated clay Y sat =18.5 kN/m? C_ =0.16, c, =0.85 5.0m Solution :
