Question

Calculate the settlement under the center of a flexible foundation 4 m by 4 m due to volume distortions occurring in a saturated clay stratum but where rock exists at a depth 8 m below the foundation. The clay shear strength c is 60 kPa. The total foundation loading imposed onto the soil is 2,400 kN.

Answer 1

So the setle of the foundation is approximately 18.75 mm.

if helpful then give like.

thank you.
