Question
A square footing is to be established in a clay soil at a depth of 2m, where water table has risen up to the ground level as shown in the figure. Assume that the net load for the given footing is a constant and that the same is dispersed into clay as shown with load dispersion as 2V to 1H. Take yw = 10 KN/m3 Net load = 500 KN C. = 0.36, e, = 0.92, Ysat = 19.3 kN/m3 %3D GL 2 m Clay 6 m 8.0) Rock What is the width of the footing required, if it is (d) permitted to settle by 120 mm?
