Q5.(20P) A 2m2m square footing will be constructed with a 1 m depth from the ground surface. The following soil profile has been determined by the site exploration prior to the construction. The groundwater table is at the ground surface. Laboratory consolidation (oedometer) tests were performed on the specimens from points A & B, and soils from points of A & B are normally consolidated with the following parameters: cCA=0.59,eoA=1.9;ccB=0.37,eOB=1.21
Calculate the total settlement in this soil profile.
