Situation 4. See figure GEOD 24.0. A soil formation is composed of 5 m thick clay and 5 m thick clay and 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, Ip = 0.79 and µμ= 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. > Calculate the primary compression index. 40 kPa 2m Sand 3 m Sand 5m Clay Yary 17.66 kN/m^3 7GWT Yeat 20.93 kN/m^3 eo = 0.60 G. = 2.60 LI = 64% PL = 20% W = 40% Fig. GEOD 24.0
