Question

Transcribed Image Text:A rectangular footing with circular tank is to be constructed on the soil
profile shown in figure. To facilitate this operation the ground water table
is lowered by 5m over a period of 6 months.
Calculated the consolidation settlement under point A, use approximate
1:2 method for external load distributions.

For the building ( Part 1) shown in figure below:
Example
1. Determine the internal and external stresses at the mid poiñt'of the
clayey layer.
2. Determine the immediate settlement at point A,
3. Fined the total consolidation settlement-if the building (Part 2) was
constructed after 2 years after finishing part 1. The per-consolidation
pressure is 190 kN/m, and if the layer reached 60% consolidation in 1
уear.
4. Show how you could find the coefficient of permeability from
consolidation test.
