A reinforced concrete footing carrying a load of 4000 kN is to be constructed as shown in figure. The clay is found to be normally consolidated, having the compression index C. 31.43%. The specific gravity of the soil solid is 2.65. The saturated unit weight of the overlaying sand is 18 kN/m3. Determine the consolidation settlement of the footing due to clay. Assume load to be transmitted with trapezoidal distribution (1V: 2H). Take y= 10 kN/m?. equal to 0.38 and natural water content
