‘mormally consolidated clay given: 1S kKN/m® ateo=122 = 430 KN/m? ate=098 * 10° m/sec, Find: long in days will it take for a 3 m thick lsyer of the same drained both sides in the field to reach 50% consolidation? is settlement at 50% consolidation?
A clay layer 5 m thick has double drainage. It was consolidated under a load of 127.5 kN/m2. The load is increased to 197.5 kN/m2. The coefficient of volume compressibility is 5.79 × 10^–4 m2/Kn and value of k = 1.6 × 10^–8 m/min. Find settlement in cm at 50% consolidation. a.25.78 b.10.32 c.32.56 d.20.27
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?
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.

1. A soil profile is shown in the figure. A uniformly distributed load of 75kPa is applied at the ground surface. The clay is normally consolidated. Compute the secondary settlement 8 years after the completion of primary consolidation. Time for completion of primary settlement is 2 years. Assume secondary compression index = 0.025

Refer to Figure 7.28. For the construction of an airport, a large fill operationis required. For the work, the average permanent load, (p), on the claylayer will increase by about 70 kN/m2. The average effective overburdenpressure on the clay layer before the fill operation is 95 kN/m2. For the claylayer, which is normally consolidated and drained at top and bottom, H = 5 m, Cc = 0.24, e0 = 0.81, and cv = 0.44 m2/mo.a. Determine the primary consolidation settlement of the clay layer causedby the additional permanent load, (p).b. What is the time required for 90% of primary consolidation settlementunder the additional permanent load only?c. What temporary surcharge, (f), will be required to eliminate the entireprimary consolidation settlement in 6 months by the precompressiontechnique?
Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the claylayer. Given: Δσ = 100 kN/m2; H1 = 4.0 m; H2 =5.5 m; and H3 = 9.5m. Soil characteristics are as Sand, e = 0.60; Gs = 2.55 Clay, LL = 60; e = 0.85; Gs = 2.65; σ'c = 200 kN/m2, Cs = 0.2 Cc Is there any difference if σ'c = zero
