Problem 5(35 pts)
Figure 5 shows a section of a foundation supporting a square footing of an industrial building. The column of the hoosng supponts 375 kjp load as shown in Figure 5. The dimension of the square footing is 5ft5ft. The soil profile is also shown in the figure. The water table is at the base of the foundation. Consolidation test resulls of the soilf fom the clay layer are given below;
Preconsolidation Pressure, c=1368.6 psf
Compression index, Cc=0.396
Swelling index, Cs=0.04
initial Void Ratio, e0=0.8
