Determination of void ration and coefficient permeability
How long will it take (in days) for a 3-foot clay layer in the field (double drained) to reach 60% consolidation? The coefficient of consolidation for the clay is 2.5 X 10-6 m2/min.
A deposit of cohesionless soil with a permeability of 0.3 mm/s has a depth of 12 m with impervious ledge below. A sheet pile wall is driven into this deposit to a depth of 8 m. The wall extendsabove the surface of the soil, and a 3 m depth of water acts on one side. Sketch the flow net and determine the seepage quantity. Provide a diagram a.600 ml/s/meter length b.300 ml/s/meter length c.900 ml/s/meter length d.1200 ml/s/meter length

A 3 m thick saturated soil stratum has a compression index of 0.25 and coefficient of permeability 3.2 x 10-3 mm/sec. If the voids ratio is 1.5 at vertical stress of 0.10 N/mm2, compute the voids ratio when the vertical stress is increased to 0.25 N/mm2. Also calculate settlement due to above stress increase and time required for 50% consolidation. Assume single drainage
Refer to Problem 3.15. Estimate the overconsolidation ratio of the clay. Use Eqs. (3.42) and (3.43).
