Question $2$:

For the foundation $.)$ shown in the figure below, calculate the elastic and consolidation settlement. Use simplified method in calculation of the stresses. Assume a uniform Poisson's ratio for all soil layers of $0\mathrm{.}4$ and a uniform unit weight of $17K\frac{N}{m^2}.$ Assume depth to rigid layer is very large. $(45$ Points$)$

CLO $4$: Apply different methods of calculating soil layers deformations to evaluate foundation design settlamants.
