Q3. Two meters of compacted fill (y= 20 kN/m³) is placed over a large area (Figure 4). A rectangular foundation of size 4 m x 5 m is constructed at the site with its base located at the existing ground surface. GWT is found at a depth of 3 m below the existing ground surface. a). Calculate and plot the in-situ vertical effective stress profile to a depth of 16 m below the existing ground surface prior to fill and footing placement. Use points with z = +2, +1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -5, -10, -13, -16 m (with z measured from the existing ground surface). b). Calculate and plot the additional effective stress due to the fill to a depth of 16 m. Use the same points as in part a). c). If the load applied on the foundation is 4 MN, calculate and plot the effective stress increase due to the footing to a depth of 16 m. Use the 2:1 approximate method and the same points as in part a). Summarize your calculations in an Excel spreadsheet and present sample calculations for z = 0, -3, -10 and -16 m (with…

I need some assistance with these two Geotechnical Engineering Problems.

1.A raft foundation 60 X 40 m carrying a net pressure of 145 kN/m^2 is located at adepth of 4.5 m below the surface in a deposit of dense sandy gravel 22 m deep: thewater table is at a depth of 7 m. Below the sandy gravel is a layer of clay 5 m thickwhich, in turn, is underlain by dense sand. The value of mv for the clay is 0.22 m^2/MN. Determine the settlement below the centre of the raft, the corner of the raftand the centre of each edge of the raft, due to consolidation of the clay.

The figure below shows a proposed foundation site, with 10 ft of sand overlying 20 ft of clay with consolidation properties shown. The clay is normally consolidated. Assume 1-D conditions.a. Compute the initial σ′v at the middle of the clay layer prior to excavation and constructionb. After excavation and during construction, the foundation area will be heavily loaded with the structure and  equipment so that σ′v at the middle of the clay layer will be increased to 3900 psf. Determine the settlement that will occur under these conditionsc. After construction is completed, the equipment will be removed and the final σ′v at the middle of the clay layer will be 3200 psf. Compute the swell that occurs after the equipment is removed
