A uniform loading of 150kPa is applied at a 28 m Χ 28 m area. Please calculate the consolidation settlement of the clay layer used the middle of the clay layer to estimate the stress increment with the influence factor method). Cc = 0.4, Cs = 0.04, preconsolidation stress is 150 kPa and unit weight of water is 10 kN/m3. What is the settlement at the corner and center of the loading? What is the differential settlement between the corner and the center?

Methods to Determine Vertical Stress

The load applied to the soil is transferred to the underground. The presence of water at soil pores and solid grains above the soil are the primary components that are responsible for the effective load transfer. Due to the load acting, the internal component of the soil or the underground formations undergoes deformations or a tectonic shift. The amount of deformation depends upon the amount of load acting on the soil surface, which indeed, depends on the weight of everything present above the soil. Due to this, the underground soil element develops internal stresses which try to resist the tectonic changes.
