Question: Q 1 : It is proposed to construct a 1 2 m 1 5 m raft at 2 m depth within an over consolidated clay

Q1: It is proposed to construct a 12m15m raft at 2m depth within an over consolidated clay applies a riet pressure of 110kNm2 to the underlying ground where cu=45kNm2,s=17kNm3. The thick of clay layer was 8m,e0=0,3,Cc=0,001 and swelling index =0.004, Not that the pre consolidation pressure was 200kPa. What would be?
a. The net allowable bearing capacity of the rafi foundation
b. The net allowable beaning capacity of the raft if a maximum consolidation settlement of 50mm is allowed? [M25]
