Determine the stresses atthe centre of each ayer as indicated above below the centre and edge | a
of the footing using Newmarks’s chart drawn in Q (a). Using these stresses calculate
settlement below the centre and edge of the footing. Further, draw settlement profile of the soil
below the footing,
A raft foundation is to be constructed for a multistoried building with a total column load of | 20
1500 ton. Size of the raft is 25m x 15m, Design the raft foundation,
Use the Newmark’s chart drawn in Q 1(a) and subsoil profile and properties given in Q 1(b).
