Question-5 (20%): If a rectangular foundation of a dimension 1 X 1m with a load equal to 200 kN is placed at Im below the ground level as shown in the figure below. Calculate the maximum elastic settlement and settlement caused by primary consolidation due to the imposed load knowing that the clay is normally consolidated clay Ground level Es (kN/m2) 10000 Yd = 15 kN/m3 3m 5m Sand B000 Hs =0.3 2m Cc = 0.3 Ysat = 20 kN/m...
The total settlement for clay being the elastic settlement
plus the primary consolidation settlement.
2. A foundation carrying 150 kips needs to be designed in New Jersey (frost depth 3 ft) for a FOS of 3. The founding soil is deep normally consolidated clay deposit with average Su value of 1100 psf, and saturated unit weight of 130 pcf and a moist unit weight of 110 pcf with water table at 3 ft depth. The laboratory tests performed on undisturbed...
