in this example we make use of the fcat that the prediciton method is shaped areas may be added and subjected. the settlement at the raft corner is given directly from the stress distribution chart. For the central point the raft has to be replaced by four b/2 x l/2 sections. The settlement at the corner of one of these sections is then 1 quarter of the actual settlement for the centre of the original raft. similarly for the midpoint of a long side: replace the raft by two 8m x 8m sections and multipy the results by two

A flexible raft is 8m x 16m in plan, and foundation level is 1m below ground level. The subsoil is clay, for which the average mv value is 0.1 MPa-1, and there is relatively incompressible bedrock 6m below ground level. (a) calculate the values of w/q for
