Question
The soil arrangement shown carries 1.96-meter square footing with a column load of 552 kN.
Properties of sand:
Above water table = 17.44 kN/m3, Below water table = 18.23 kN/m3. Properties of clay: 17.54 kN/m3, Cc = 0.370, void ratio = 0.50. Use H1 = 6 m., H2 = 5 m., H3 = 7 m., Df = 1 m. Determine the settlement of the normally consolidated clay in mm.
