Assume that you put 40 feet of surcharge fill at the site for 25 years.

You then remove the material. The unit weight of the material is
100 pounds per cubic foot. Repeat the settlement calculations and come up with a new foundation design. Fill in the table for the new
situation. Hint: this only changes your pre-consolidation pressure. To get the new preconsolidation pressure, simply add
40(100)=4000psf to Sigma’-i.
