A rectangular footing (4.31 x 4.07 m.) is placed 1.2 m. below the ground surface. The soil arrangement is composed of sand (ground) for the first 5.52 meters and followed by clay for the next 5.91 meters. The force acting on the footing is 10,163 kN. Determine the settlement of the consolidating layer in mm. Assume a 2V:1H pressure diagram. Unit weight of sand = 16.6 kN/m3. Clay has the following properties: Unit weight = 18 kN/m3, Void ratio = 82, Liquid limit = 44. Round off to two decimal places.
2. Please find the possible solutions for this question! A foundation 4 m x 5 m transfers a total load of 5 MN to stiff overconsolidated clay with an OCR=4 and ysar=19 kN/m (given figure below). Groundwater level is at 1 m below the ground surface. A CU test was conducted on a soil sample taken at a depth 5 m below the center of the foundation. The results obtained are (cu.)p = 40 kPa, o', = 28, and 'es= 24. Determine if the soil will reach the failure state for short- term and long-term loading conditions. If the soil does not reach the failure state, what are the factors of safety for short-term and long-term loading conditions? Assume the soil above the groundwater level is saturated.
