Site Plan Requirements

A site plan (also known as a plot plan) is a diagram or process to show the proposed improvements on an existing property. A site plan is important, as it provides information regarding the landscape features of a given plot of land. Zoning is done or can be understood with the help of a site plan.

A soil strata can be described as 6 metersof sandunderlain by 4 meters of clay with the water table located 7 metersfrom the bottom of said strata. The sand has a dry and saturated unit weight of 14 kN/m3and18 kN/m3resp. On the other hand, pertinent clay properties are saturated unit weight of 19 kN/m3 , void ratio of 0.8 and liquid limit of 40. Compute the primary consolidation settlement considering the following conditions if a uniform load of 100 kPa is acting on the soil. If necessary, assume a logical value of Cs. A. The clay is normally consolidated. B. The pre-consolidation pressure is 190 kN/m2 C. The pre-consolidation pressure is 170 kN/m2.
The soil is acted upon by a uniformly distributed load P=60 kPa at the ground surface. Compute the settlement of the clay layer,in mm, caused by a primary consolidation if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 200 kPa, if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 230 kPa, and if the clay is normally consolidated. Use Cs=Cc/5. Round off to the nearest whole number.
