Foundation settlement under a group of friction piles
Sun, 07/25/2010 - 14:25
Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering "CE Board Exam Nov. 2008″
A group of friction piles is shown in figure. The total load on the pile less the soil displaced by the footing is 1800kN. The clay is 16m thick. Ground water table is located 2m below the clay surface.
1. Compute for the effective pressure the mid height of the consolidating clay layer, in kPa.
A. 186.4
B. 174.8
C. 147.6
D. 163.5
2. Compute for the compression index of the clay.
A. 0.297
B. 0.245
C. 0.325
D. 0.288
3. What is the approximate settlement of the foundation?
A. 150 mm
B. 168 mm
C. 214 mm
D. 198 mm
Pls check the third problem..theres a foul on that play! I think so...heheheh thanx alot

Re: Foundation settlement under a group of friction piles
I check the link above, it's a nice site and this is what I got.
I think this is the figure and the problems are exactly the same.
