Situation 4. See figure GEOD 24.0.
A soil formation is composed of 5 m thick clay and 5 m thick clayand 5 m thick sand being the sand above the clay.
The ground water table (GWT) is located at 2 m below the ground surface. Assume E= 6900 kPa, IF = 0.79 and μ= 0.2.
➤ A rigid column footing 1.2 m in diameter is constructed. The load on the footings is 170 kN. Determine the immediate settlement.
