Chapter 3, Problem 3.9QPP
3 m ×3 m footing is to be built on the surface of a 15 m thick layer of unsaturated sand. The sand is underlain by a very dense gravel layer. The water table is at a great depth. The sand is relatively uniform and in situ testing indicates it has a constrained modulus of 10 MPa. The footing load is 200 kN. Compute the settlement under the center of the footing.
