(a) Determine the elastic settlement expected to occur within a time span of 20 years using Schmertmann's Strain-Infuence-Factor Method. (20%)
(b) Determine the average consolidation settlement at mid-clay beneath the center of the foundation. Hint First find the pre-consolidation pressure (') at mid-clay (average value) using Mayne and Kemper (I988) approach and state if the clay is NC or OC.(20%)
(c) Is the selected footing size safe in bearing capacity? Use the angle of internal friction found in Problem 1(SPT based). If could not be found, you may use 30. Apply the General Bearing Capacity Method. Can Terzaghi's approach be used for this case? (20%)
( c ) Using the siven CPT log , classify the
