A shallow foundation supported by a silty sand is shown in
Figure 11.6. Given:
Length: L = 3 m
Width: B = 3 m
Depth of foundation: D_f = 1.5 m
Thickness of foundation: t = 0.25 m
Load per unit area: D_s = 150 kN/m²
E_f = 15 X 10⁶ kN/m²
The silty sand has the following properties.
H' = 20 m
μ_s = 0.3
E_O = 16,000 kN/m²
k = 400 kN/m²/m
Using Eq. (11.20), estimate the elastic settlement of the foundation.
