Question: A 1 . 5 m deep square footing ) = L = 1 . 0 ( m ) , D f = ( 1 .

A 1.5m deep square footing )=L=1.0(m),Df=(1.5(m) carries a downward load of 250kN. It is underlain by overconsolidated clay (OC case 1) with the following properties: Cc=0.20,Cr=0.05,e0=0.7 and n=17.0kNm3(above the groundwater table) and sat=18.0kNm3(below the groundwater table). The groundwater table is at a depth of 1.5m below the ground surface. The secondary compression settlement is negligible. Determine the coefficient of subgrade reaction.
