A rigid reinforced concrete foundation is subjected to a column load of 87,000 lbs. The foundation measures 8 ft × 8 ft in plan and rests on 21 ft of laye- red soil underlain by rock. The soil layers have the following characteristics: Layer type Loose sand Medium clay Dense sand Thickness (ft) 0-5 5-13 13-21 E, (lb/in.²) 2200 980 9100 Ya (lb/ft³) 105 109 122 If the foundation depth D₁ = 4 ft and µ = 0.4 for all layers, estimate the elastic settlement of the foundation. Use Eq. (11.1)

A 100'x50' mat foundation (also called slab-on-grade) will be placed at the site shown in Figure 1. Calculations show that the foundation will cause an average increase in vertical stress in the clay layer of (a) 850 psf under the foundation center, and (b) 350 psf under the foundation corner. Find the foundation settlement due to the consolidation of the clay layer both at the foundation center and the foundation corner. Can the resultant differential settlement be considered tolerable?

A rectangular footing with dimensions of 8ft x 12ft is constructed at the surface of the ground and supports a column with a load of 192,000 lbs. The load applied to the footing results in a uniform stress distribution at the base of the footing. What is the change in vertical stress 12 feet below the ground, underneath Point A, at the corner, on the diagram?
