I need help solving this exercise step by step, please.
A strip footing with a width of 3 m at a depth of 1.0 m is constructed on a 25 m thick sandy soil stratum.
Given: =18kNm3, the elastic modulus of the sandy soil is 8,500kNm2, the gross pressure is 200kNm2.
Estimate the settlement of the footing after 10 years by using the strain influence factor method (Schmertmann
et al.1978) as outlined below.
Se=C1C2(?bar(q)-q)0z2IzEsz
C1=1-0.5q(?bar(q))-q
C2=1+0.2*log(timeinyears0.1)
Izo=0.1+0.0111(LB-1)0.2
Iz(m)=0.5+0.1(?bar(q))-qqz(1)'2
z1B=0.5+0.0555(LB-1)1
z2B=2+0.222(LB-1)4
