Refer to the figure below. The site consists of 8 ft of sand overlying 4 ft of clay. The groundwater level is 4 ft below the ground surface. Given that a proposed footing for a building will be 10 ft by 10 ft at a depth of 2 ft below the ground surface and the load on the foundation is 800 kips, calculate the primary consolidation settlement of the clay layer. Use the 2:1 method to determine the stress distribution...
Homework #10 A soil exploration result of a site is shown in the following figure. A building is to be constructed at that site. First, it has been proposed to raise the elevation of the ground by filling the site with 10 ft thick compacted soil at an area of 25 ft x 25 ft. The unit weight of the compacted moist soil was 120 pcf. The foundation of proposed building was constructed at the center of the compaction area...
A 2-m thick of compacted soil of unit weight 20 kN/m3 will be placed on the top of the ground surface. Δσ y 14.0 kN/m3 3.0 m Sand Y 17.5 kN/m3 2.0 m 3.0m A Soft clay y= 13.5 kN/m3 6.0 m Medium clay y=15.0 kN/m3 B 4.0 m Bedrock a) Before placing the compacted soil, what are the overconsolidation ratios (OCR) for point A and B? b) When placing the compacted soil, what external load Ag would be? c)...

20-ft thick fill is planned to be placed at a construction site. Ground settlement is of concern due to high compressibility of the clay layer. A consolidation test was performed on a sample collected from the center of the 15-ft thick clay layer. On the following page, e-logp curve obtained from the test is included. Estimate ground settlement based on the information provided. Hint: Don't forget to correct the curve for field conditions. Ifơ0 is within 10%...
Please, show step by step and clearly. problem 9.17, (Use 3
equally divided sub-layers for the 15 m clay layer). thanks
please, resolve question 9.17 (Use 3 equally divided sub-layers
for the 15 m clay layer)
9.16 The soil profile and the loading condition are given in the followin n) figure. Total new footing stress including the foundation at z 2 is 400 kN/m2. The soil profile has a rather thick clay layer (15 so that the layer should be...
1. A 3m x 3m square footing is constructed at a depth of 2m in a 200m deep clay layer with following soil properties: Ysat 16.5kN/m3, Normally Consolidated Clay, eo- 0.65, Cc 0.25, us-0.5 and Es 6.0 MN/m2. If there is a 1,000kN structural load on the footing, calculate the consolidation settlement of the footing
3. A soil profile shown below. The uniformly distributed load on the ground surface is Do. Estimate the primary settlement of the normally consolidated clay layer, given that H-6ft, H2 - 10 ft, Hz - 4ft For sand, Ydry = 113 lb/ft'Ysat = 188.7 lb/ft? For clay, Ysat - 186.4 lb/ft. e=0.85, LL = 55 Ao'-2,000 lb/ft? -0.0003 in /sec 140' Dry sand Satiiruted sand Primary Settlement, Sc of Normally Consolidated clay - If the clay above was overconsolidated, what...
A new concrete water tank (unit weight= 24 kN/m3) with inner
diameter of 13.8 m with 0.1 m wall thickness, and 9.0 m high is
proposed for construction to cover the water shortage of government
officers’ quarters that located near to an existing 6.0 m high
concrete water tank with similar diameter. The existing water tank
sits on a concrete foundation of diameter 15.0 m and thickness of
0.6 m which is below the finished surface level. The existing water...
