Transcribed Image Text:A foundation is to be constructed at a site where the soil profile is as shown below. The
dimensions of base of foundation is 3 m x 6 m, and it carries a total load Q = 5400 KN.
The initial void ratio in situe (eo = 1.38) and compression indec (Cc = 0.68)
Required,
1- What is the vertical stress at midheight of the clay layer (AP) due to the foundation total
load of (Q = 5400 KN), using the influence coefficient and table 10.6 shown below ?
2- What is the expected consolidation settlement of the clay layer in mm ?
3- If the bedrock is underlain the clay layer, how long it will take for 50% of consolidation
settlement if the coefficienent of consolidation ( Cv = 4.96 x 10-6 m2/min.
