Assume that an area is underlain by a stratum of compressible soil 5.3 m thick. The weight of the proposed structure, say an earth embankment for a new highway, will result in an increase of 28.2 kPa pressure to the compressible soil. The settlement under this loading would be 0.30 m. The 385 compressible layer is doubly drained, and the soil has a cv value of 0.4 m2/month. Calculations indicate that it would take approximately 22 months for the settlement to occur under the weight of the proposed embankment. How long would be required for a surcharge imposing a pressure of 56.4 kPa to cause the 0.30 m of settlement?
