Students have asked these similar questions
example: (Total immediate settlement), Determine the total immediate settlement of the rectangular footing shown in figure belove after 2 months. Ans :( Si (total)=5.75 mm)
by Schmertmann's Method .
A circular footing with a 1.5 m diameter is to be
constructed 1.22 m
below the ground surface. The subsoil consists of
a uniform deposit
of dense soil having the following strength
parameters:
Angle of Friction = 250 Nc = 24.1 Nq = 13.1 Ny = 9.1
Cohesion = 48 kN/m2
Unit weight of soil = 20.12 kN/m2
The groundwater table is at a great depth and its
effect can be
ignored.
