A footing for a sign post is to be placed on the soil profile shown below. The structural loading is PDL = 45 kips and PLL = 10 kips. The sand and clay layers have the properties as shown below. The clay is the same material as tested in problem 1. Check the soil strength (i.e., bearing capacity) and settlement under the applied loading and evaluate the suitability of the proposed construction. Assume the footing diameter to be 6ft.
