- A normally consolidated clay layer 4.91 m. thick has a void ratio of 1.12. Liquid limit is equal to 35 and the average effective stress on the clay layer was 81 kPa. The average stress on it is increased to 125 kPa. as result of the construction of a foundation. If the clay layer is preconsolidated, compute the consolidation settlement in millimeters if the preconsolidation pressure is 93 KPa. Use Cs = 1/7Cc.Redo Problem 11.6 using the weighted average method [Eq. (11.68)] to calculate the stress increase in the clay layer. Problem 11.6 Refer to Figure 11.43.
