Concept explainers

Methods to Determine Vertical Stress

The load applied to the soil is transferred to the underground. The presence of water at soil pores and solid grains above the soil are the primary components that are responsible for the effective load transfer. Due to the load acting, the internal component of the soil or the underground formations undergoes deformations or a tectonic shift. The amount of deformation depends upon the amount of load acting on the soil surface, which indeed, depends on the weight of everything present above the soil. Due to this, the underground soil element develops internal stresses which try to resist the tectonic changes.

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.

The coefficients of consolidation inthe vertical and horizontal directions, respectively, are 9.6 and 14.0 m^2/year.
