Question:

A strip footing 2.5 m wide is loaded on the ground surface with a pressure equal to 175 kPa. Calculate the stress distribution at depths of 2.5, 7.5 and 12.5 m under the center of the footing. If the footing rested on a normally consolidated cohesive layer whose LL was 78 and whose PL was 47, estimate the settlement of the footing. Assume wn = 50%, S = 100%, γ' = 7.5 kN/m3, and the total clay layer thickness beneath the footing = 15 m.?
