2. Change the footing dimension in the question below to a strip footing with width of 6 ft. and find the settlement using Schmertmann's modified method to calculate the required settlement. Example 8-2: A 6 ft x 24 ft footing is founded at a depth of 3 ft below ground elevation with the soil profile and average N160 values shown. Determine the settlement in inches (a) at the end of construction and (b) 1 year after construction. There is no groundwater. The footing is subjected to an applied stress of 2,000 psf. Ground Surface Clayey Silt 3 ft Y = 115 pcf; N160= 8 Sandy Silt B = 6 ft 3 ft Y = 125 pcf; N160= 25 Coarse Sand 5 ft Yt = 120 pcf; N160= 30 Sandy Gravel 25 ft Yt = 128 pcf; N160= 68
You are planning to build a three story above ground building with a basement parking garage below ground. The bottom of your slab/foundation will be 17 ft below existing grade. You plan to keep the ground water level in the excavation 3.0 ft below the bottom of the foundation for approximately 3 months. The water table is 11 ft below existing grade. The soil is uniform medium sand down to a depth of approximately 50 ft. The soil below 50 ft is an impervious clay. Your excavation will be 320 ft x 150 ft. You have determined that a 4 ft wide x 3 ft deep sump around the perimeter of your excavation will provide adequate dewatering capacity. Based on test wells on site, you determined that the medium sand has a k value of .058 ft/min and that the D factor is 50 ft. a. Label D, H, and ht on the given diagramb. Calculate the flow rate, q c. Calculate the total volume of water that will need to be pumped in gallons per minute (GPM)
