Problem 4-6* Given that foundation loading in saturated clays is applied under undrained conditions, what can we state about the volumetric change undergone by the soil after load application? What value of Poisson's ratio would be used in settlement equations for saturated clays derived using elasticity assumptions? What does that imply about the mechanism by which immediate settlements develop in saturated clays?
