Hello, I want to know how to calculate the vertical stress induced in each layer if it is a continuous foundation?

please show step by step (also show how to find the vertical stress increase) 18 A new petroleum storage tank is proposed at an oil refinery to be supported by a 20-meter diameter slab foundation at the ground surface. The structure will produce a uniform load of 110 kN/m2 on the entire slab foundation. A subsurface investigation has revealed the shown soil profile. A series of laboratory tests on representative samples obtained from the clay stratum has resulted in the...
The time for 50% consolidation of a 25 mm thick clay specimen (drained at top and bottom) in the laboratory is 150 sec. How long (in days) will it take for a 3 m thick layer of the same clay in the field under the same pressure increment to reach 75% consolidation? There is an impermeable shale layer at the bottom of the clay layer in the field I. 2. Use Figure 1 for the following Compute the vertical effective...
Q1 (10 marks) You have been asked to examine the bearing capacity of several different rectangular pad footings. The width of each of the footings is to remain constant wil vary. In order to reduce the number of calculations, you have decided to plot the ultimate bearing capacity against the length of the footing. The properties of the underlying soil profile are given in Table 1.1. The base of the footing is to be located 1 m below ground level...
in part b, how is h=4 l = 10 b=8 and d=4 ?? Question Nine: For the flexible loaded area (5 mx 7 m) shown below.calculate: (a) The average consolidation settlement beneath the footing given that the load spreads evenly through the clay at a 2:1 ratio. For your calculations, divide the appropriate layer into two equal sub-layers. (b) The average immediate settlement beneath the footing given that the load spreads evenly through the day at a 2:1 ratio. 4800...
settlement calculation confused as how the settlement per soil layer was obtained in mm, not getting the unit conversion right. For example, when I apply for formula s for first layer I obtain s=97.6 but the answer is 9.76 mv= 0.8 m^2/MN ness Terzaghi's method S- depth below L'/z foundation 9.8 61 0.24 5 6.6 4.2 2 41 0.16 0.101 1.67 0.67 2 26 18 0.4 5 2.9 2 0.29 0.22 0.069 0.71 0.56 1.9 12 0.045 25.4 It is...
