a. A layer of sand, of saturated unit weight overlies a layer of clay, of saturated unit weight. A foundation carrying load is to be founded on the soil layer. If the clay is normally consolidated and the increase in effective pressure due to the foundation load at the center of clay and Soil parameters are provided in the excel sheet I. Draw the soil profile diagram in detail, mentioning all the soil properties with the foundation details. II. Calculate the consolidation settlement at the center of the clay layer
