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 surface. Before construction of the footing,
laboratory tests on a saturated clay sample, taken at a depth of
B/2 below the ground surface, provided the
following properties:
Compression Index = Cc ,
Recompression Index = Cr ,
Consolidation Coefficient =
cv
Over Consolidation Ratio =...
