Refer to Figure 11.48. A square foundation, 2.5 x 2.5 m in size, supports a col- umn load of 478 kN. The soil characteristics are given in the figure. Field moni- toring indicated that the foundation settlement was 46 mm at the end of 2 years. a. Estimate the average stress increase in the clay layer due to the applied load. b. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement. c. What is the degree of consolidation after 2 years? d. Estimate the coefficient of consolidation for the pressure range. e. Estimate the settlement in 3 years. 478 kN 1.5 m 2.5 m x 2.5 m Yd= 16 kN/m³ GWT
