A 4-meter clay layer (e = 0.89, Gs = 2.69, Cc = 0.349) is overlain with 4-meter-thick sand layer (e = 0.83, Gs = 2.51). The water table is at the interface of the sand and clay layer. If a 2-meter-thick land fill (Y = 17.36 kN/m^3) 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.
A thin clay layer passes through the soil at an angle of 30° behind an 8m high gravity retaining wall. A structure 5m wide, applying a uniform stress of 40kPa to the sandy soil, also acts on this section of soil as shown in Figure 3.1. The properties of the clay are ??=25???, ∅?=0, ?′=0 and ∅′=20°. The sandy soil properties are ?′=0, ∅′=35°, ????=16??/?2, ????=20??/?2, and between the sand and the wall the properties are ?′?=0 and ∅′?=30°. Assuming that failure occurs along the clay layer, use Coulomb’s method to calculate the horizontal force required from the wall in the short term to prevent slip.
