A 8 m layer of sand, of saturated unit weight 22 kN/m3, overlies a 6 m layer of clay, of saturated unit weight 27 kN/m3. A foundation carrying 1200 KN load is to be founded on the soil layer. If the clay is normally consolidated and the increase in effective pressure due to the foundation load at the center of clay is 27 kN/m2, Soil parameters are Cc = 0.25, eo = 1.0. Assume required data •Draw the soil profile diagram in detail, mentioning all the soil properties with the foundation details. •Calculate the consolidation settlement at the center of the clay layer.

A strip foundation with dimensions B has to be constructed on sandy soil. The foundation will be located at 1 m below the ground surface. The unit weight and the static angle of friction of the soil are 18 kN/m3 and 39o , respectively. The foundation may occasionally be subjected to a maximum dynamic load of 1800 kN increasing at a moderate rate. (i) Determine the size of the foundation using a safety factor of 3 by assuming the kh and kv values are 0.176 and 0, respectively. (ii) Determine the seismic settlement of the foundation if the design earthquake parameters are V = 0.4 m/sec and A = 0.32.

A strip footing is to be designed to support a dead load of 500 kN/m and an imposed load of 300 kN/m at a depth of 0.7 m in a gravelly sand. Characteristic values of the shear strength parameters are c' = 0 and ϕ' =40˚.

(b) Would a foundation of that width satisfy the bearing resistance limit state? The unit weight of the sand above the water table is 17 kN/m3 and below the water table the saturated unit weight is 20 kN/m3.
The initial principal stresses at a certain depth in a clay soil are 200 kPa on the horizontal plane and 100 kPa on the vertical plane. Construction of a surface foundation induces additional stresses consisting of a vertical stress of 45 kPa, a lateral (horizontal) stress of 20 kPa, and a counterclockwise (with respect to the horizontal plane) shear stress of 40 kPa. Plot Mohr's circle (1) for the initial state of the soil and (2) after construction of the foundation. Determine (a) the change in magnitude of the principal stress, (b) the change in maximum shear stress, and (c) the change in orientation of the principal stress plane resulting from the construction of the foundation.
