For an overconsolidated clay, the present effective overburden pressure (i.e., effective stress) of the soil is the maximum pressure to which the soil has been subjected in the past (True or False) In the field, it is a common observation that there is approximately a 25% reduction in layer thickness after completion of soil compaction (True or False) Sheepsfoot compactors are effective for coarse-grained soils (True or False)

A 5.00m clay overlain with a 5.00m sand. The sand has a specific gravity of 2.65 and a void ratio of 0.70. The clay has a saturated unit weight of 19.22kN/cub.m, a void ratio of 0.90 and a liquid limit of 60%. The water table is located 1.00m below the ground surface and the soil above the water table is 50% saturated. A load of 75kPa is distributed on top of the ground surface. What is the overburden pressure on the mid-height of the clay layer?
Nonrigid analyses are superior because they consider the flexural deflections inthe mat and the corresponding redistribution of the soil bearing pressure.
