Q2/A (3m x 6 m) rectangular flexible foundation is placed above the ground surface for two layers of clay, for each layer 6 m thick. The modulus of Elasticity (Eu) of the upper layer is 10 MN/m² and that of the lower layer is 20 MN/ m².The Poisson ratio is (μs = 0.4) for the two layers. The pressure of 100 kN/ m² is distributed along the surface of foundation. Determine the immediate settlement at the corner of the foundation using Elastic theory method?
