2. Please find the possible solutions for this question! A foundation 4 m x 5 m transfers a total load of 5 MN to stiff overconsolidated clay with an OCR=4 and ysar=19 kN/m (given figure below). Groundwater level is at 1 m below the ground surface. A CU test was conducted on a soil sample taken at a depth 5 m below the center of the foundation. The results obtained are (cu.)p = 40 kPa, o', = 28, and 'es= 24. Determine if the soil will reach the failure state for short- term and long-term loading conditions. If the soil does not reach the failure state, what are the factors of safety for short-term and long-term loading conditions? Assume the soil above the groundwater level is saturated. Please discuss the details of your findings! 5 MN Foundation: 4 m x 5 m 21 =1m Stiff clay 22 = 4 m Sample
(3) A direct shear test is used to find the shear strength of a soil. For two soil samples, the vertical stresses are 100 kPa and 300 kPa, and the corresponding shear stresses at failure are 57.7 kPa and 173.2 kPa, respectively. Please determine the strength parameters of this soil. 18 L m

Q: Explain the stress vs. time and settlement vs. time relationships for a soil layer under stress increase pf indicating the compensation of surcharge as shown in the figure below ignoring the secondary compression. Subject: ground improvement techniques Program: civil transportation engineering
A normally consolidated clay layer 4.38 m. thick has a void ratio of 1.06. Liquid limit is equal to 37 and the average effective stress on the clay layer was 79 kPa. The average stress on it is increased to 117 kPa. as result of the construction of a foundation. If the clay layer is preconsolidated, compute the consolidation settlement in millimeters if the preconsolidation pressure is 138 KPa. Use Cs = 1/6Cc.
