This image should help but you also need the previous image beacuse I cannot add two photos.

Draw the total and effective stress diagrams and calculate their value for the mid height of clay

$($A$)$ in the figure.

Find the total settlement of point $x$ under the foundation loads given in figure.

If the Soil $2$ is drained at both sides, how long will it take for $50\%$ settlement to occur?

Calculate the horizontal stress acting on point B$.$

Write a report to represent solutions of each of the scenarios in a technical format by organizing each

on a different heading. Include soil properties and type of analysis in your report. Comment on your

findings!

Hint: In order to calculate the stress increase under rectangular area refer to the following method:

Uniform loaded rectangular area

$m$ and $n$ are geometrical coefficients, where $m=\frac{8}{2}$ and $n=\frac{L}{2}$
