1. For the circular foundation below, determine: a) the ultimate settlement and b) the settlement after 9 months, due to consolidation of the clay layer. Base your calculations on the values at the midpoint of the clay layer. F=200,000 lb 4 ft 6 ft 6 ft 14 ft 10 ft CLAY eo= 0.9 Y sat 115 pcf OCR =1.1 ROCK SAND W=5% 6 = 32° G=2.65 eo= 0.4 C=0.4 C = 0.05 C, = 0.2 ft/day Sult =D₁177 ft 59 months = D.109 ft 2. Assume that the footing in problem 1 is of a 6 ft radius. Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity for the assumptions of general and local shear failures.
