Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

A soil profi le consists of a clay layer underlain by a sandlayer, as shown in Figure P7.17. If a tube is inserted intothe bottom sand layer and the water level rises to 1 mabove the ground surface, determine the vertical effective stresses and porewater pressures at A, B, and C. IfKo is 0.5, determine the lateral effective and lateral totalstresses at A, B, and C. What is the value of the porewater pressure at A to cause the vertical effective stressthere to be zero?
A shallow square foundation for a column is to be constructed. It must carry a net vertical load of 1000 kN. The soil supporting the foundation is sand. The standard penetration numbers (N60) obtained from field exploration are as follows: FIG. 17.15 The groundwater table is located at a depth of 12 m. The unit weight of soil above the water table is 15.7 kN/m3, and the saturated unit weight of soil below the water table is 18.8 kN/m3. Assume that the depth of the foundation will be 1.5 m and the tolerable settlement is 25 mm. Determine the size of the foundation.

If a 3-meter-thick land fill (γ = 17.21 kN/m3) is placed over the existing ground surface, compute the consolidation settlement (in mm.) of the clay layer. Hint: Use the land fill's resulting pressure on the ground surface as the stress increase. Round off to two decimal places.
