For a strip foundation, the width is 1.2m, buried depth is 1.2m, the standard value of the load applied on the foundation Fx=155kN/m, the soil layer is distributed as follows: from the ground to the depth of 1.2m is the land fill, y=18kN/m°; the depth in the range of 1.2-1.8m is silty clay, fak=155kPa, E,=8.1 Mpa, y=19KN/mº; below the depth of 1.8m is the mucky clay, fax=102kPa, E=2.7Mpa. Try to check the base pressure and the bearing capacity of the weak sub-layer.
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?

b) A 3.X m x 3.X m square foundation is to be founded at a depth of 1.5 m below ground level in medium-dense sand with a bulk unit weight of 19 kN/m³ and a saturated unit weight of 20.X kN/m³. The water table is located 3.6m below ground level. The immediate settlement is to be limited to 25mm. Estimate the allowable load on the foundation using the standard penetration test data presented in Table 3 below and applying the appropriate correction factors.
