Question: Prob.# 1. Calculate the elastic settlement for the rectangular foundation shown in Fig. 1. Length =4.0m . Assume flexible foundation and determine the settlement below
Prob.# 1. Calculate the elastic settlement for the rectangular foundation shown in Fig. 1. Length
=4.0m. Assume flexible foundation and determine the settlement below center of the foundation.\ Prob.#2. Refer to data given in Fig. 2. What will be the elastic settlement of the foundation. The foundation is rigid.\ Prob#3. Using Schmertmann's method, calculate the elastic settlement of the square foundation shown in Fig. 2 over a period of 5 years.\ Prob.#4. A shallow foundation
2mx1min plan rests on a saturated clay layer. A rigid rock layer is located
8mbelow the bottom of the foundation' The depth of the foundation is
1mbelow the ground surface. The unit weight of the soil is
18.81k(N)/(m^(3)). The undrained cohesion of soil is
150k(N)/(m^(2)),OCR=2(,)/(P)I =60and poison's ratio
=0.5. A vertical load of
300kNis applied to the foundation. Determine the elastic settlement of the foundation.\
