An office building is planned to be built on the site shown below. The total weight of the building is 136,000.00 kips, spread over a square footing of 200 ft by 200ft. The contractor is anxious about the settlement in the soil layers under the weight of the building and decides to accumulate the settlement through a temporary sand surcharge (surcharge load equal to the building load) placed on the soil before the construction of the building begins. Sand Y = 125 pcf Clay Y = 130 pcf eo = 0.95 LL = 28 Impermeable bedrock Sand Surcharge Area = 200' x 200' 15ft 30ft 20ft
