engineering recuitment GATE CE 2023-24 Test Series Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Bearing Capacity Shallow Foundation
A circular raft foundation of 20 m diameter and 1.6 m thick is provided for a tank that applies a bearing pressure of 110 kPa on sandy soil with Young's modulus, ES' = 30 MPa and Poisson's ratio, υS = 0.3. The raft is made of concrete (EC = 30 GPa and υC = 0.15). Considering the raft as rigid, the elastic settlement (in mm) is
