Mathematics · Geotechnical Engineering - Elastic Settlement

A rectangular footing (3 m × 2 m) exerts a pressure of 100 kN/m2 on cohesive soil (Es = 5 × 104 kN/m2 and μ = 0.50). Determine the immediate settlement at the centre, assuming a flexible footing. For L/B = 1.5, take influence factor II = 1.36.
