A) What is the induced stress so (in kPa) at the midpoint
of the clay layer from the point load?
B) What is the change of void ratio, se, in the clay layer
because of the point load.
c) Calculate the settlement (in the nearest cm) at the clay
layer because of the point load. Use the one layer approach.
D) while the one-layer approach is not accurate to represent
the distributed stress from the point load, how many
layers would be proper?
