Solve Problem 9.10 using Eqs. (9.39), (9.40), and (9.41).


Problem 9.10

A continuous foundation on a deposit of sand layer is shown in Figure P9.10 along with the variation of the cone penetration resistance qc. Assuming λ = 18 kN/m3 and creep is at the end of ten years after construction, calculate the elastic settlement of the foundation using the strain influence factor method. Use Eqs. (9.30) and (9.36).


Eq. (9.30)

2 S.= C,CG -9)とE Az


Eq. (9.31)

2 S.= C,CG -9)E Az


Eqs. (9.39)


Eqs. (9.40)


Eqs. (9.41)

2 S.= C,CG -9)E Az
