Solve a problem with a square loading of $30ft$ base. The stress from the house is

almost $889$ psf$.$ Use the $2$V:$1$H $($known as the two to one method$)$ to project the stress

of the house at the level of the soil sample. In the previous $3$ examples we solved, the

load was considered infinite, therefore it was assumed to have an effect that is the

same at any depth. In real life, this is not the case, the stresses are applied at a certain

area, and we project the equivalent stress $($using the $2$:$1$ method$)$ to reduce this stress

at the depth of interest. Also, think of the stress as if it dissipates at a very deep level

$($that$\text{'}$s why we reduce it$)$ maybe if it is $889$ psf at the surface, at a depth of $500$ it will be

almost zero.

Calculate the settlement based on the given

If the allowable uniform settlement under this house should not exceed $1\mathrm{.}00".$ Does

the current design meet this requirement?
