I'm dealing with a mat foundation to be constructed at 3m below grade level. Dimensions are 20m x 20m. The loading from the structure will be 50 kn/m2. The removed load of soil is estimated around 60 kn/m2 (3mx20kn/m3). Normally I wouldn't expect settlements to occur, however the oedometric...
I have a question regarding common practice of mat foundation (B = 20m, L = 40m) design. I have four boring logs (one on each corner of the building). These boreholes each have different elevations (BH1 elevation is 160m, BH2 elevation is 163m, BH3 elevation is 160.5m, and BH4 elevation is...
