A circular foundation is to be constructed on a ground surface as shown in figure. The ground water table is at the ground surface. (Take Yw=10 kN/mº) aCalculate the total settlement. b) Calculate the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil for short term by using Skempton's approach. c) If in the technical specifications, the allowable settlement is given as 5 cm and factor of safety against shear failure is given as 3 (FSpearing capacity=3), is this foundation SAFE or not? Circular load = 200 kPa GWT 8m Diameter = B = 2.5 m Clay Eu=60MPa Cu=40 kPa eo=0.6 Ce=0.1 C=0.03 Op'=300kPa sar=20kN/m u=0.5 (Skempton and Bjerrum Correction Factor) Bedrock
