9. Consider Figure FE 3. Compute the difference in the primary consolidation settlement. Further, if foundation B is to be loaded with an additional 150 kN, suggest an increase in dimension for said foundation if a differential settlement of 20 mm is not to be exceeded. You may use the equation for primary consolidation settlement of HomvAoy. (Bonus)

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.
