4. Look at the profile in page 53 of your reader. Calculate the hydrostatic pore pressure at the interface between the clay layer and the sand layer. 5. Use Excel to create a plot of hydrostatic pore pressure in kPa (x-axis) vs. depth in meters (y-axis) for the profile associated with problem 4 (above). We shall assume that the soil above the water table is dry, so clearly, the porewater pressure at z  6.5m is zero. Graph: line only (no markers); y-axis in reverse order, starting with z = 0 and ending with z = 14m (top of the bedrock). Label both axes and add tick marks to them.

Soil borings made at a site indicate that the top 8 m is a loose sand, with the groundwater table at 4 m below the ground surface. Below this is a fairly soft blue-gray silty clay with an average water content of 30%. The boring was terminated at 20 m below the ground surface when fairly stiff silty clay was encountered. For the upper sand gammadry = 14.0 kN/m3 and gammasat = 15.0 kN/m3 , where gamma is the unit weight. For the clay, ps = 2.70 Mg/m3 where p is density. (1) Calculate the total stress, pore water pressure, and effective stress at 0 (the surface), 4, 8, 14, 16, and 20 m below the ground surface. (2) Plot the soil profile and the variation of total stress, pore water pressure, and effective stress with depth.

An oil tank is to be sited on a soft alluvial deposit of clay. Below the soft clay is athick layer of stiff clay. It was decided that a circular embankment, 10 m diameter,with wick drains inserted into the soft clay would be constructed to preconsolidateit. The height of the embankment is 6 m and the unit weight of the soil comprisingthe embankment is 18 kN/m3. The following data are available: thickness of softclay = 7 m, ks = 1 × 10−10 m/s and Ch = 0.6 m2/yr. The desired degree ofconsolidation is 90% in 12 months. Determine the spacing of a square grid of thewick drains. Assume wick drain of size 100 mm × 3 mm and qw = 0.1 × 10−6 m3/s.The flow point distance is 4 m. Assume a half-closed system.
