A 300 kN point load is applied to a soil profile that consists of 7 meters of sand (γt = 19 kN/m3) above 4 meters of clay (γt = 17.5kN/m3) with the groundwater table at a depth of 5 meters. The clay has an OCR = 1.6, an initial void ratio of 0.86, a Cc=0.64 and a Cr=0.12. The sand has a Cc = 0.35 and an initial void ratio of 0.68. Calculate the overall settlement of the profile due to the application of the point load.

A long footing supports a wall carrying a load of 260 kN per m. The soil at the site is saturated clay having a undrained shear strength of 117 kPa. The unit weight of the clay is 22 kN/m³ and it is suspected that occasionally the water table rises to the ground surface. What width in m (1 dp) of footing should be used if a minimum factor of safety of 2.4 is required? The footing depth is 1.2 m

Problem No. 1 The soil profile at a site consists of a top 4 m layer of dense sand followed by 2 m of clay, which is underlain by a stiff stratum. The water table is at 2 m below the ground level. The follow- ing data was obtained from a consolidation test on an undisturbed sample obtained from the middle of the clay layer: water content 36%, specific gravity of the clay grains = 2.72, compression index = 0.72,...
