$(2\mathrm{.}1)$ Compute settlement using Schmertmann$$s Method with consideration of

$10$ year of creep. Use soil elastic modulus Es$=3\mathrm{.}5*$qc$.$

$(2\mathrm{.}2)$ Compute settlement at center of the footing using the generalized

modulus$-$based method as shown below. Please compute settlement to $5$B

depth, use Ei$=3\mathrm{.}5*$qc$.$ For settlement calculation, use one sub$-$layer for

qc$=1750$ layer, two sub$-$layers for qc$=3450$ layer, and one sub$-$layer from

depth $8$m to the required calculation depth of $5$B$.$ Vertical stress increase at

each sub$-$layer is to be determined by Boussinesq Method $($you may develop a

spreadsheet for computing Boussinesq stress increase using equation shown

on Slide $19$ of PPT $5$ or use Boussinesq table on Slide $20$ and $21$ of PPT $5).$
