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.
