Q2/A (2m x 4 m) rectangular flexible foundation is placed above the ground surface for two layers of clay, for each layer 10 m thick. The modulus of Elasticity (E) of the upper layer is 10 MN/m² and that of the lower layer is 20 MN/ m².The Poisson ratio is (us = 0.5) for the two layers and the column load is 70 kN. Determine the immediate settlement at the corner of the foundation using Elastic theory method? ==
