Q4: It is required to construct a pile
foundation comprised of 25 piles arranged
in 5 columns at distances of 120 cm center
to center. The diameter and lengths of the
piles are 50 cm and 12 m respectively. The
bottom of the pile cap is located at a depth
of 3 m from the ground surface. The details
of the soil properties etc. are as given
below with reference to ground level as the
datum. The water table was found at a
depth of 6 m from ground level. Compute
the consolidation settlement of the pile
foundation if the total load imposed on the
foundation is 3000 kN
