The square footing shown in the figure carries a load of 3500 kN. Assume that the stress below the footing is distributed at a slope of 1H:2V. The clay layer is overconsolidated with OCR = 2 - 3500 kN 4m x Sm 0.6 m Ya = 17.5 kN/m² Sand 0.6 m GWT Sand 1.2 m 7' = 8.49 kN/m³ Ysar = 17.1 kN/m³ C, = 0.06 Clay 1.2 m e, = 1.4 C = 0,38 etermine the settlement of the clay layer.
