A compressible clay layer 10 m thick has an initial void ratio in situ of 1.026. Test and computations show the final void ratio of the clay layer after construction of a simple framed structure is 0.978 plus or minus 0.001. Determine the estimated primary consolidation settlement of the structure. Analyze total and differential settlement to be expected assuming one end settles to 0.979 and the other end settles to 0.977. Does this simple framed structure fall within the differential and/or maximum permissible settlement assuming a length between the footings of 25 m?

In a unit cell of fcc structure, indicate the position of one of the tetrahedral interstitial sites by plotting the corresponding tetrahedron. do the same for one of the octahedral interstitial sites (in a separate fcc unit cell). mark the positions of all the tetrahedral and octahedral interstitial sites in the unit cells. how many equivalent tetrahedral sites and how many equivalent octahedral sites are contained in a fcc unit cell, respectively. what is the coordination number for a tetrahedral site and what is the coordination number for an octahedral site?
