The results of a CPT test performed for a commercial site are presented in the image (You already classified the soil layer in homework #2). The layer soil type is shown by the legend and corresponding numbers in the figure. A strip footing with a size of 3x30 is built on the surface of the mentioned strata. A 300 kN/m load is acting on the footing. Use Schmertmann's method to compute the settlement of this footing 1 year after construction and 30 years after construction. Please show your calculation for at least one layer if you want use excel software for this problem. For easier calculation use E₂ = 39c- • • Neglect the foundation weight. • Assume the layers are in dry condition. Use unit weight as table below.

In direct shear test, continue taking readings until the horizontal shear load peaks and then falls, or the horizontal displacement reaches %20 of the equivalent to the diameter of the box. ● %25 of the equivalent to the diameter of the box. none of them
A soil profile consists of 3m of clean sand (γ=18kN/m³) over 10m of silt (γ=17kN/m³, kv=1 x 10-8m/s) over 12m of clay (γ=17kN/m³, kv=4 x 10-9m/s) over gravel. Piezometers installed at middepth of the sult later and at the top of the gravel layer measure, respectively, piezometric heads of 4m and 3m. Assuming one-dimensional flow in the vertical direction, compute the flow rate in m³/year/10,000m². Also, compute at 16m below the ground surface the total veritcal stress, effective stress, and porewater pressure.
