Correction: Round off your answer to the nearest multiple of ten. * A 3.2 m x 3.2 m square footing has a load of 1200 kg. From the bottom of the footing, an 8 m thick sand lies on top of a 2.8 m clay layer. The foundation is 1500 mm deep. The clay layer has LL = 48 and e = 0.95. The saturated densities of sand and clay are 1860 kg/m³ and 1760 kg/m³ respectively. Q: If the water level rises just to the ground surface and using the 2:1 method, what is the primary consolidation settlement of the clay in mm? Round off your answer to the nearest value of ten.

The plan of a rectangular foundation shown in figure transmits a uniform contact pressure of 120 kN/m². Determine the vertical stress induced by this loading at point B under a depth of 5 m. (40 marks) 25.0- 15.0 6.0- 4.0 B•
The initial principal stresses at a certain depth in a clay soil are 100 kPa on the horizontal plane and 50 kPa on the vertical plane. Construction of a surface foundation induces additional stresses consisting of a vertical stress of 45 kPa, a lateral stress of 20 kPa, and a counterclockwise (with respect to the horizontal plane) shear stressof 40 kPa. Determine the change in orientation of the principal plane resulting from the construction of foundation. CHOICES ( WITH COMPLETE SOLUTION): a. principal stress plane rotates 23 degree counterclockwise from horizontal plane b. principal stress plane rotates 46 degree clockwise from horizontal plane c. principal stress plane rotates 23 degree clockwise from horizontal plane d. principal stress plane rotates 46 degree counterclockwise from horizontal plane
