(a) Estimate the immediate settlement beneath the center of the footing. Assuming that
Poisson's ratios of sand and soft clay are 0.3 and 0.5, respectively. Use numerical
integration approach. For the calculations, use layers (below the bottom of the footing) of
thicknesses: 1 m; 1.5 m, and 2.5 m.
(b) Determine the primary consolidation settlement beneath the center of the footing.
Note: Use the 2:1 method to determine the stress increase below the footing.
