Question: . ( 4 0 % ) The allowable settlement for the proposed continuous footing in the figure below is 5 0 m m . Using

.(40%) The allowable settlement for the proposed continuous footing in the figure below is 50mm. Using
the classical method and showing all steps and equations, compute its consolidation settlement, c and
determine if it satisfies this criterion. (The Soil 1 is silty Clay: su=100kPa and =18.5kNm3,Cd(1+e)
=0.12,Cr1+e=0.025,m'=200kPa; Soil 2:su=120kPa and =19kNm3,Cd1+e=0.1,Cr1+e=0.02,
m'=150kPa,w=9.8kNm3; Concrete: c=23.6kNm3,r=0.85).
