A rigid strip footing with a width of B is
constructed above the ground on a clay deposit, overlying bedrock.
The depth of clay layer is H and the water level
is at the natural ground surface. Before construction of the
footing, laboratory tests on a saturated clay sample, taken at a
depth of H/2 below the ground surface, provided
the following properties:
Compression Index = Cc ,
Recompression Index = Cr ,
Consolidation Coefficient =
cv
Over Consolidation Ratio...
