Two meters below the ground surface, a 2x2 m square footing is constructed on NC clayey sand. The layer is subjected to a CPT test, with the results revealing an average cone resistance of 20 Mpa. A layer of hard rock is laid 20 meters below the surface. The service load of 25 ton.f is acting on the footing column. Find the elastic settlement using the generalized elastic method. The water level is at the surface and you can use yw 10 KN/m3. (footing weight is negligible) Hint: use table 4.8 of textbook to find the undrained modulus.
