✔ 最佳答案
Stress at top of pier = 500/5^2 kPa = 20 kPa
Total weight of pier = 20 x (5 x 5 x 6) kN = 3 000 kN
Hence, total load on surface of soil = (500 + 3000) kN = 3500 kN
Stress at surface of soil = 3500/5^ kN/m^2 = 140 kPa
Strain on the soil = 140/150 = 0.9333
Hence, settlement of soil = 0.9333 x 6 m = 5.6 m
