A 8 m layer of sand, of saturated unit weight 22 kN/m3, overlies a 6 m layer of clay, of saturated unit weight 27 kN/m3. A foundation carrying 1200 KN load is to be founded on the soil layer. If the clay is normally consolidated and the increase in effective pressure due to the foundation load at the center of clay is 27 kN/m2, Soil parameters are Cc = 0.25, eo = 1.0. Assume required data •Draw the soil profile diagram in detail, mentioning all the soil properties with the foundation details. •Calculate the consolidation settlement at the center of the clay layer.
