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.
