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.

Refer to Figure 5.12. For a rectangular foundation on layered sand, given:●● B = 4 ft, L = 6 ft, H = 2 ft, Df = 3 ft●● γ1 = 98 lb/ft3, Φ'1 = 30º, c'1 = 0●● γ2 = 108 lb/ft3, Φ'2 = 38º, c'2 = 0Using a factor of safety of 4, determine the gross allowable load the foundation can carry.
Two flexible square footings with B = 1 m, are embedded at 1 m depth. The first footing is embedded in a sandy soil layer and the second one is embedded in a clayey soil layer. Given that the depth of each soil layer is 5 m calculate the following. a. Calculate the elastic settlement at the center of the foundation in the sand layer If it is loaded at 400 kN. b. Calculate the elastic settlement at the center of the foundation in the clay layer If it is loaded at 600 kN/m². c. What is the differential settlement between the two footings due to the elastic settlement? d. From part c, what is the maximum Saturated clay OCR = 3 PI=30 C₁₁ = 200 kPa Ms=0.5 Saturated sand Ps=0.25 E₁ = 10 MPa Rigid layer allowable total settlement in the clay if the safe differential settlement is 25 mm and what could cause this settlement?
At a development site in Cebu City, a plate-load test was conducted on soil whose properties resemble that of sand. The plate used in this PLT is 52 cm square. The ultimate load per unit area (qu) for the test was found to be 420 kN/m?. What should be the maximum allowable load of a 2m square footing? Use a factor of safety of 3.

The figure below shows a proposed foundation site, with 10 ft of sand overlying 20 ft of clay with consolidation properties shown. The clay is normally consolidated. Assume 1-D conditions.a. Compute the initial σ′v at the middle of the clay layer prior to excavation and constructionb. After excavation and during construction, the foundation area will be heavily loaded with the structure and equipment so that σ′v at the middle of the clay layer will be increased to 3900 psf. Determine the settlement that will occur under these conditionsc. After construction is completed, the equipment will be removed and the final σ′v at the middle of the clay layer will be 3200 psf. Compute the swell that occurs after the equipment is removed
Two identical rigid foundations are given. Calculate the differential settlement ratio (8/L) after 100 days and long term after construction of the foundations. Hint: Average total final settlement of a rigid footing due to a clay layer can be found based on the following equation: Sy = 0.75 m, H dơ P = 600 kN P = 600 kN 15 m Foundation B 1.5 m x 1.5 m Foundation A 1.5 mx 1.5 m 0.8 m 0.8 m Sand 2 m 3.5 m = 18 kN/m E 20 MPa, v * 0.3 Clay 4.5 m Yeat = 19 kN/m2, m, = 0.2 m2/MN, C, = 107 m/s 3 m Highly permeable bedrock Not to Scale
A footing of size 2m×2m transferring a pressure of 200 kN/m², is placed at a depth of 1.5 m below the ground as shown in the figure (not drawn to the scale). The clay stratum is normally consolidated. The clay has specific gravity of 2.65 and compression index of 0.3. 1.5m 1m 1.5 m 200 kN/m² Silty sand Clay Ya =15kN/m³ Y sat = 18kN/m³ Y sat = 17 kN/m³ GWT $0.5 m Dense sand Considering 2:1 (vertical to horizontal) method of load distribution and Y₁ = 10kN/m³, the primary consolida- tion settlement (in mm, round off to two decimal places) of the clay stratum is
