![A proposed office building will include a 10 ft x10 ft square, 3 ft deep (the footing height is also
3 feet) spread footing. The normally consolidated clay has the following engineering properties:
Ydry = 115.0 pcf
$'=24°
c'=90.0 psf
Cc/(1+eo) = 0.15
The soil stratum extends to a great depth, and the ground water table is 50 ft below the ground
surface.
Using the classical piece-wise log-linear method, estimate the total settlement of this footing
considering only the allowable bearing pressures using ASD approach. The unit weight of
