A flexible foundation measuring 1.5 m x 3 m is supported by a
saturated clay. Given: Dr = 1.2 m, H = 3 m, Es (clay)= 600 kN/m2, and qo
= 150 kN/m?. Determine the average elastic settlement of the
foundation.
H.O 7
Figure 7.3 shows a foundation of 10 ft x 6.25 ft resting on a sand
deposit. The net load per unit area at the level of the foundation, qo, is
3000 Ib/ft?. For the sand, u, = 0.3, Es = 3200 Ib/in?, Df = 2.5 ft, and H
= 32 ft. Assume that the foundation is rigid and determine the elastic
settlement the foundation would undergo.
H.O 8
Determine the net ultimate bearing capacity of mat foundations with
the following characteristics:
c, = 2500 Ib/ft, = 0, B = 20 ft, L = 30 ft, D, = 6.2 ft

H.O 10
A concrete pile 20 m long having a cross section of 0.46 m x 0.46 m is
fully embedded in a saturated clay layer. For the clay, given: Ysat = 18
kN/m,0= 0, and cu = 80 kN/m2. Determine the allowable load that the
pile can carry (FS = 3). Use the A method to estimate the skin
resistance.
