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, $E_s’=30$ MPa and Poisson’s ratio, $v_s=0.3$. The raft is made of concrete ($E_c=30$ GPa and $v_c=0.15$). Considering the raft as rigid, the elastic settlement (in mm) is $50.96$ $53.36$ $63.72$ $66.71$

In an unconsolidated undrained triaxial test, it is observed that an increase in cell pressure from $150$ kPa to $250$ kPa leads to a pore pressure increase $80$ kPa. It is further observed that, an increase of $50$ kPa in deviatoric stress results in an increase of $25$ kPa in the pore pressure. The value of $\textit{Skempton’s pore pressure parameter B}$ is $0.5$ $0.625$ $0.8$ $1.0$
