• <b>STRESS SETTLEMENT RESPONSES OF SAND OVERLYING NORMALLY CONSOLIDATED SOILS</b>
• Conducted literature review on the behavior of sand overlying normally consolidated soils.
• Gained proficiency in PLAXIS 2D software for finite element analysis of soil strata.
• Analyzed bearing stress vs. settlement graphs generated from finite element simulations under varying sand and clay thicknesses.
• Investigated the influence of sand layer depth over clay on settlement characteristics under loading.
