A flexible foundation measuring 1.5 m x 3 m is supported by a
saturated clay. Given: Dr = 1.2 m, H = 3 m, Es (clay)= 600 kN/m2, and qo
= 150 kN/m?. Determine the average elastic settlement of the
foundation.

Figure 7.3 shows a foundation of 10 ft x 6.25 ft resting on a sand
deposit. The net load per unit area at the level of the foundation, qo, is
3000 Ib/ft?. For the sand, u, = 0.3, Es = 3200 Ib/in?, Df = 2.5 ft, and H
= 32 ft. Assume that the foundation is rigid and determine the elastic
settlement the foundation would undergo.

A shallow foundation measuring 1.75 m x 1.75 m is to be constructed over a layer of
sand to support a net vertical load 400 kN. Given: D= 1 m; average No =12. The sand is
normally consolidated. Estimate the elastic settlement of the foundation. Using Modified
Meyerhof's method.
A continuous foundation is shown in Figure is to be constructed on a sand deposit. If the load
eccentricity is 0.2 m, determine the ultimate load, Qu, per unit length of the foundation. Use
