Redo Problem 9.3 for the situation where the same soil is underlain by bedrock at 3.0 m below the surface.

Problem 9.3

A 2 m × 4 m flexible foundation is placed on a granular soil with Df 5 0. The foundation applies a pressure q_o = 120 kN/m². Assuming the soil mass to be infinitely thick, with E_s = 15 MN/m² and µ_s = 0.1, determine the expected settlement beneath the center of the foundation.
