Q3- A raft foundation (12 * 8) m carrying a net pressure of 183 kN/m² is located at a depth of 3.8 m below the surface in deposit of dense sandy gravel 6 m deep. The water table is located at a depth of 4.3 m. Below the sandy gravel is a layer of clay 3.8 m thick which in turn is underlain by dense sand. The value of mv for the clay is 0.28 m²/MN. Determine the settlement below the center and below the corner of the raft due to consolidation of the clay.
For the embedded strip footing (infinitely long in the out-of-plane direction) shown below, the maximum vertical pressure that the soil can bear before failure is 100 kPa (i.e., qmax should not exceed 100 kPa). What is the maximum overall eccentricity of the foundation in mm before failure? (answer tolerance = 2%). Consider γconcrete = 25 kN/m3, γsoil = 18 kN/m3 and assume that the width of the embedded column is negligible, and the entire top of the foundation is covered with soil. Hint: for a strip footing, the calculations should be conducted assuming a 1-m long footing in the out-of-plane direction.
