CEEN $5320$ Foundation Engineering I Homework #$3$

Question$1$

A continuous foundation on a deposit of sand layer is shown in the figure below along with the variation of the modulus of elasticity of the soil $($Es$).$ Assuming $=18$ kN$/$m$3$ and C$2$ for $10$ years, calculate the elastic settlement of the foundation using the strain influence factor method.

Question $2$

Estimate the consolidation settlement of the clay layer in the figure below with following two approaches; $($a$)$ below the center of the clay layer and $($b$)$ using $2$:$1$ method. Assume that there is a bed rock below the clay layer.

Question $3$

The plan of a mat foundation is shown below. Calculate the soil pressure at points D$,$ E$,$ and F$.$
