A.For the case shown (wind parallel to the long plan dimension), the maximum net uplift (k) at a pile is most nearly: A. 8 B. 13 C. 24 D. 38 B. The soil profile shown below consists of a sandy fill layer overlying a layer of normally consolidated clay with the soil properties shown. The soil below the elevation of _20 ft is stiff clay. The GWT is lowered to the top of the clay layer and a mat foundation (bottom of mat at depth of 42 in. below ground) of plan dimensions 190 ft × 250 ft is constructed. Total vertical (concentric) load on the mat = 20,000 tons. The settlement caused by
