A 15 m x 20 m mat foundation shown in Figure (Q4), carries a building load of 4200
tonne and is placed at 4.0 m depth below the ground level. Compute the consolidation
settlement at the midpoint of the long side of the foundation (Point C) if the
preconsolidation pressure at the middle of the clay layer is 180 kN/m².

Estimate the increase in vertical stress at 0.5 m depth intervals, within the clay layer, below point A
(See figure below). The foundation exerts a uniform vertical stress of 120 kPa at ground level. Using
these values estimate the settlement due to the clay layer. (Hand in any graphs used)
