2. Change the footing dimension in the question below to a strip footing with width of 6 ft. and find the settlement using Schmertmann's modified method to calculate the required settlement. Example 8-2: A 6 ft x 24 ft footing is founded at a depth of 3 ft below ground elevation with the soil profile and average N160 values shown. Determine the settlement in inches (a) at the end of construction and (b) 1 year after construction. There is no groundwater. The footing is subjected to an applied stress of 2,000 psf. Ground Surface Clayey Silt 3 ft Y = 115 pcf; N160= 8 Sandy Silt B = 6 ft 3 ft Y = 125 pcf; N160= 25 Coarse Sand 5 ft Yt = 120 pcf; N160= 30 Sandy Gravel 25 ft Yt = 128 pcf; N160= 68
A square footing having the dimension of 24 x24 (B=L=24) is to beconstructed on a deep clay deposit. Superstructural stress is calculated as 150 kPa. Thefoundation will rest at the depth of 2 m from the surface. The groundwater table is located onthe surface and the saturated unit weight of the clay is 17 kN/m3. Determine the depth of theborehole considering both de Beer’s rule and the Turkish Earthquake Code (2018).
