A circular footing with a radius of r = 4.0 ft will be embedded D = 2 ft in uniform clay. The top of the foundation is at the surface. The water table is at the ground surface. An intact sample of the clay with Gs=2.75 was obtained using a thin-walled Shelby tube from a depth of 10 ft below the ground surface.

Problem #4 At a development site in Cebu, City, a plate-load test was conducted on soil whose properties resemble that of sand. The plate used in this PLT is 62 cm square. The ultimate load per unit are (qu) for the test was found to be 620 kN/m2. What should be the maximum allowable load of a 2.5 m square footing? Use a factor of safety of 3. Answer in N.
A new residence has a column load of 24000 kN. This is supported via a 3m by 4m rectangular footing whose bottom is 1m below the surface of this homogenous lateritic soil layer. 5m below the footing, there is a 6m thick clay layer. The clay layer has a unit weight of 18.0 kN/m³, void ratio (e) of 0.67, and compressibility index (Cc) of 0.237. The lateritic soil has a unit rate of 19 kN/m³ Find the vertical stress increment at the depth of Sm below the centre and corner of the loaded area.

Estimate the total consolidation settlement (primary & secondary) after 2 years and 3 months after the completion of primary consolidation settlement of an over consolidated clay layer under the bridge pier as shown below. The pier's dimensions are (2 m x 3 m). Use Yw= 10 kN/m³ and note that the time for completion the primary consolidation is 3 years. | Qo= 960 kN G.W.L 1m Sand Ya=16.5 kN/m 2 m Ysat = 18 kN/m³ Silty Sand Ya=17.5 kN/m 3 m Ysat = 18.5 kN/m3 Clay Ya=20 kN/m , Ysat = 21 kN/m3 e, = 0.6 , Ae=0.04 , o= 78.3 kN/m2 4 m Cc= 0.4, Cs= 0.1, Ca= 0.02
A compressible, normally consolidated clay layer is 7 ft thick and the slope of its field consolidation line is 0.27. If the initial void ratio is 0.09 and the effective overburden pressure is 2.7 tons/ft^2, what is the primary consolidation at midheight of the clay layer if the additional pressure from the building is 2.6 tons/ft^2?
