1. A 4ft by 4ft spread footing is proposed where the bottom of footing is set 2ft below grade. The column bearing on this footing will impose a load of 180kips. Assuming the subsurface conditions shown below with groundwater 5ft below grade, Use Schmertman's method to calculate the elastic settlement of the system 6 years after construction is completed, provide a clear sketch and show units and state assumptions. Oft Sand Ymoist = 120 pcf Phi = 30deg Es = 52 ksf 4ft Loose Sand 5ft Ymoist = 125 pcf Yat = 145 pcf Phi = 22deg Es (above GW) = 30 ksf Es (below GW) = 20 ksf 8ft Dense Sand Ysat = 155 pcf Phi = 35deg Es = 60 ksf 20ft 2. The foundation above is limited to a 1.5" settlement after 10 years, speak to whether the design is adequate and if not how can you adjust the project to meet this criteria.

Provide reasons why field plate-loading tests performed at a planned construction site may give erroneous settlement information if the area is underlain by cohesive soils. (Hint: Field loading tests are frequently performed with bearing plates smaller in area than the foundation footings will be. Also consider the effects of consolidation.)
