For the foundation shown, determine the effective pressure increase at the middle of the clay layer shown (below the sang layer)
a. by Boussinesq equation
b. by 1:2 method
c. by isobars
please show complete solution individually. thank you so much!
Note: use SI units (1m-3.28 ft; 1 lb-4.448 N; 1 ton=9.81 kN) 50 ton (net load) Sand y=100 lb/ft3 4.5 ft: 5 ft x 5 ft 3 ft Sand Ysat=122 lb/ft³ 10 ft Groundwater table Ysat 120 lb/ft³: e = 0.7 C=0.25 C = 0.06 Preconsolidation pressure = 2000 lb/ft²
Note: use SI units (1m-3.28 ft; 1 lb-4.448 N; 1 ton=9.81 kN) 50 ton (net load) Sand y=100 lb/ft3 4.5 ft: 5 ft x 5 ft 3 f
