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.
