    The document provides information for estimating the elastic settlement of a raft foundation with dimensions of 33.5 x 39.5 m. The raft is placed 3 m below the natural surface level (NSL) under which there is a 6 m thick dense sand deposit with an elastic modulus of 42.5 MPa overlying a hard clay stratum with an elastic modulus of 60 MPa extending to a depth of 14 m below NSL. Below 14 m is a sandstone deposit with an elastic modulus over 750 MPa.

    The strata comprises of a 6.0 m thick dense sand deposit (ES =


    42.5 MPa) overlying a hard clay stratum (ES = 60 MPa)
    extending to a depth of 14.0 m below NSL. A sandstone deposit
    (ES ≥ 750 MPa) exists below 14.0 m depth. The foundation is
    placed at a depth of 3.0 m below NSL.
