Answer #1

5m 3m A layer B layer Clayer

The ultimate settlement of the clay layer can be calculated by using the formula,

AH = H, * Ce* log(01/06)/(1+eo)

where,

Ho = Thickness of soil stratum or layer

Cc - Compression index

eo - Initial void ratio

Final stress = Initial stress + Incremental stress

of = 0 + Ao

Initial stress = Bulk unit weight of the soil * Depth of soil layer

Incremental stress is calculated by Bousinessq's equation,

Ao = 3 *Q* (1/(1+ (r/-)2))5/2/(2 * II * Zº)

where,

r - Radial distance

Z - Depth of the layer from the bottom surface of the footing

The ultimate settlement is calculated from the centre of the footing to the distance of 6m from the centre.

The values are shown the below table
