A 100'x50' mat foundation (also called slab-on-grade) will be placed at the site shown in Figure 1. Calculations show that the foundation will cause an average increase in vertical stress in the clay layer of (a) 850 psf under the foundation center, and (b) 350 psf under the foundation corner. Find the foundation settlement due to the consolidation of the clay layer both at the foundation center and the foundation corner. Can the resultant differential settlement be considered tolerable?
