There are 2 tasks to this report as you can read, however, I am
only set to solve the first task (Task A).
ASSIGNMENT: TEAM REPORT NB 1 : This assignment is designed to (a) develop your appreciation of the principles relating to ground stress distribution and immediate settlement, and (b) improve your skills in the areas of conceptual modelling of practical engineering problems, use of manual computations and software simulations for problem solving, working as part of a team, and effectively communicating the results. N.B. 2: This assignment is to be completed by students working in teams of three (students should organize their groups). A 5 m radius and 12 m height water storage tank is to be constructed close to one of the team members' residence. Complete the tasks below related to this planned construction. Task A: (i) Determine the factor of safety against a bearing capacity failure (ii) Plot the ground stress distribution beneath the foundation of the tank by calculating the stress increase using two different empirical methods (iii) Calculate immediate settlement beneath the foundation of the tank
