Question-Answer:

A footing 3m×1.5m in plan transmits a pressure of 160 kN/m2 on a cohesive soil having E= 8×104 kN/m2 and µ=0.48. What is the immediate settlement at the centre, assuming the footing to be flexible? (Take  Iw = 1.52)

  • (a) 2.11 mm 
  • (b) 3.21 mm 
  • (c) 3.51 mm 
  • (d) 4.62 mm

s = qB(1-µ2)Iw / E
