Question
Problem #59
The subsoil profile of a proposed site of construction
is shown below, a square footing of 2m x 2m carries
a load of 1000 kN and is laid with its base at lm
depth below ground surface assuming that post
construction settlement in sand is negligible
determine the consolidation settlement of clay layer
on account of construction. There is geological
evidence, clay is NC, use 2 vertical and 1
horizontal for load dispersion to estimate the stress
increase in clay layer.
