Question: A square foundation ( 1 . 8 * * * 1 . 8 ) m loaded with concentrated load acting 0 . 5 m from

A square foundation (1.8***1.8)m loaded with concentrated load acting 0.5 m from west edge and
1.5 m form north edge, located at depth 1.8 m at non-plastic silty sand (internal friction =30)
with unit weight and saturated unit weight =16.5kNm3 and 18.5kNm3 respectively and total
thickness 7 m and below it there is a normally consolidated clay of thickness 5 m with saturated
unit weight =19.5kNm3, pre-consolidation pressure =190kNm2, void ratio =0.8, and (LL)=40.
If the ground water table is unstable and ranged between (2.5 to 1.5) m depth from ground surface
during the year. Determine the following:
Ultimate load.
Ultimate load if use driven concrete pile 40 cm diameter and 6 m length
Elastic settlement
Consolidation settlement
A square foundation ( 1 . 8 * * * 1 . 8 ) m
