Find the settlement due to consolidation of a 9ft × 9ft coloumn foundation (figure) with a load of 1500 Ibs. The foundation is placed at 3 ft below the top surface and the clay layer is 25 ft thick. There is a sand layer underneath of the clay layer. The density of the clay layer is 115 Ibs/cf the compression index of the clay layer is 0.32 and the initial void ratio of the clay is 0.085.

Find the settlement due to consolidation of a 9ft × 9ft coloumn foundation (figure) with a load of 1500 Ibs. The foundation is placed at 3 ft below the top surface and the clay layer is 25 ft thick. There is a sand layer underneath of the clay layer. The density of the clay layer is 115 Ibs/cf the compression index of the clay layer is 0.32 and the initial void ratio of the clay is 0.085. Assume that the pressure is distributed at a 2:1 ratio and clay is normally consolidated.
