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 $50.96$ $53.36$ $63.72$ $66.71$

Water is flowing at a steady rate through a homogeneous and saturated horizontal soil strip of $10$ m length. The strip is being subjected to a constant water head $(H)$ of $5$ m at the beginning and $1$ m at the end. If the governing equation of flow in the soil ... $x$ is the distance along the soil strip), the value of $H$ (in m) at the middle of the strip is _______
