(c) Serviceability limit state is the critical criterion for the design of a square footing on the soil profile shown in Figure Q-c. The groundwater level is 3 m below the ground surface, but is expected to seasonally rise to the surface. The applied loading will cause a vertical stress increase at the center of the clay layer of 15 kPa. Calculate the consolidation settlement of theclay.

Soil borings made at a site in city indicate that the top 6 m is a loose sand and miscellaneous fill, with the groundwater table at 3 m below the ground surface. Below this is a fairly soft blue-gray silty-clay with an average water content of 30 %. The boring was terminated at 16 m below the ground surface when fairly stiff silty clay was encountered. Make reasonable assumptions as to soil properties and calculate the total, water, and effective stresses at 3, 6, 11, and 16 m below the ground surface.
