A 3.75 m thick clay layer (drained on one side) is normally consolidated. When the pressure increase from 50 KN/m2 to 150 KN/m2 , the void ratio decreases from 0.9 to 0.75.For the clay Cv=0.24 cm2/sec.a.

Problem # 4. A 2m. clay layer has values of e = 0.92, Gs = 2.72 and liquid limit of 40%. Above the clay is a 3m thick layer of sand with e =0.50 and Gs = 2.62. The water table is located 1.6 m below the ground. If a 3m thick backfill is placed on the ground surface having a unit weight of 17.3 kN/m^3, determine the following: a. Compression index of clay.b.

If a 3-meter-thick land fill (γ = 17.21 kN/m3) is placed over the existing ground surface, compute the consolidation settlement (in mm.) of the clay layer. Hint: Use the land fill's resulting pressure on the ground surface as the stress increase. Round off to two decimal places.
