Problem 2 A
6.0ft\times 12.0ft
flexible foundation is placed on a granular soil with
D_(f)=0
. The foundation applies a pressure
q_(0)=2.4ki(p)/(f)t^(2)
. Assuming the soil mass to be infinitely thick, with
E_(s)=300
ki(p)/(f)t^(2)
and
\mu =0.1
, determine the expected settlement beneath the center of the foundation. Problem 3 Redo Problem 2 with
D_(f)=3.0ft
.
