SOIL MACHNICSR=69 A 6m of sand is underlain by 2m thick layer of clay. There is anotherlayer of dense sand below the clay layer. The water table is at im belowground surface. Consider soil above water table as saturated by capillaryaction. The submerged unit weight of sand 10KN/m3, The clay layer has acompression index of 0.35, water content = 40% and specific gravity 2.7.If a circular footing of 2m diameter is placed at 1.5m below the groundlevel, Calculate the ultimate settlement of clay layer. The foundation iscarrying a load of 1000+10RKN.

Question

SOIL MACHNICS R=69

A 6m of sand is underlain by 2m thick layer of clay. There is another
layer of dense sand below the clay layer. The water table is at im below
ground surface. Consider soil above water table as saturated by capillary
action. The submerged unit weight of sand 10KN/m3, The clay layer has a
compression index of 0.35, water content = 40% and specific gravity 2.7.
If a circular footing of 2m diameter is placed at 1.5m below the ground
level, Calculate the ultimate settlement of clay layer. The foundation is
carrying a load of 1000+10RKN.
