Question:

A 2 m wide square foundation is placed at a depth of 1.5 m, in a very thick homogeneous sand deposit where qc = 10 MN/m2 and λ = 18.5 kN/m3. The stress level at the foundation is 140 kN/m2. Estimate the settlement in 25 years, using the method of Schmertmann et al. [Eq. (9.30)]. How much of this settlement is due to creep?
