A plan calls for a square foundation measuring 3 m 3 m supported by a layer

Question:

A plan calls for a square foundation measuring 3 m × 3 m supported by a layer of sand (see Figure 9.7). Let D_f = 1.5 m, t = 0.25 m, E_o = 16,000 kN/m², k = 400 kN/m²/m, m_s = 0.3, H = 20 m, E_f = 15 × 10⁶ kN/m², and q_o = 150 kN/m². Calculate the elastic settlement. Use Eq. (9.27).
