9.9. A 2 m wide square foundation is placed at a depth of 1.5 m, in a very thick homogeneous sand deposit where qe 10 MN/m² and y = 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? Answer Se = 8.0 mm Settlement due to creep = 2.6 mm
