Transcribed Image Text:SITUATION: A 12 ft x 10 ft footing carries a total load of 300 tons. Standard penetration test
was conducted on the site. Test results were corrected for over burden pressure and
corrected N-values are listed as shown.
Determine the maximum settlement if the ground water table and base of the foundation are 7
ft and 4 ft below the ground surface respectively. Assume the dry and saturate unit weight of
the sand are 115 pcf and 124 pcf respectively.

if the ground water table is located at a depth below the
base of the footing less than the half the footings width (B/2).
Xa = PP.
Pa= effective overburden pressure at a depth B/2 below the footings base, assuming
the water table is not present
P. = effective overburden pressure at the same depth with water table present
