What is flooded tension crack? Why it occurs in Clay soils and not in sandy soils? For the case in Question 3, if cohesion C = 10 KPa, what will be critical height and fill the table with calculation results. Discuss the role of cohesion in the calculation of active and passive pressure. Presence of cohesion increase or decreases the safety of the wall? Do you think Clay is a good material for backfill due to the reason it has high cohesion or there are other factors to be considered? If yes then what are those factors?

1. The time for 75% consolidation of a 25-mm clay specimen (drained at top and bottom) in thelaboratory is 22 minutes. How long will it take for a 6-m thick clay layer in the field to undergo55% consolidation under the same pressure increment? In the field, there is a rock layer at thebottom of the clay 2. A foundation 6.1 by 12.2m (20 by 40 ft) in plan is to be constructed at a site where thegeological profile is as shown in Fig. 17.17. The foundation load is 287 kPa (3 tons/ft2) and theunit weights of various soils are as shown in the diagram. Consolidation tests of thecompressible clay indicate that it has a void ratio of 1.680 at 95.8 kPa (1 ton/ft2) and acompression index of 0.69. The coefficient of consolidation is 8.3x10-4 cm2/s.
