In the figure below, the natural soil profile consists of sand overlying clay overlying sand overlying bedrock. A water table is present 1 m beneath the surface of the natural ground. If 4 m of consistent fill material (γfill = 15 kN/m3) was placed on top of this soil profile that covered a large area, determine: (a) The consolidation settlement of the clay layer (using 4 equal layers in your calculation), and (b) The time (in days) for this consolidation...
Problem 3 In a laboratory consolidation test on a representative sample of cohesive soil, the original height of a double-drained sample 50% consolidation was 5 min. The laboratory sample was taken from a soil layer which is 15 m thick in the field, doubly drained, and subjected to similar loading. How long will it take until the layer consolidates 50 %? b. If the final consolidation settlement is predicted to be 20 cm, how long will it take for a...

Two undisturbed clay samples were taken from the middle of the overconsolidated and normally consolidated clay layers in the soil profile shown. The water table is at the top of the overconsolidated clay layer. Consolidation tests were carried out on the two samples and the results are summarized in the table below. Assume that the bulk, dry, and saturated unit weights of the sand are 16 kN/m3, 16 kN/m3 and 19 kN/m3, respectively. The specific gravity of the clay soil...
9 The data shown in the table below were obtained from a laboratory consolidation test on a normally consolidated undisturbed MH soil with a liquid limit of 65. The sample was 62 mm in diameter, 25 mm tall and was tested under a double drainage condition Compute c, using the square root of time fitting method Time Since Loading (HH:MM:SS) 00:01:01 Dial Reading (mm) 7.21 7.74 00:03:06 00:08:35 00:16:39 8.40 9.01 9.60 00:30:15 00:59:17 10.11 01:54:29 10.35
2. A consolidation test was made on a sample of saturated clay in a circular ring with a height of 1.22 inches and an area of 4.91 square inches. Primary consolidation under the addition of each load was essentially complete at the end of 24 hours. The dial readings corresponding to the end of primary consolidation under each load increment are provided below. The initial void ratio was 1.70 Dial Reading (inch x 10 Pressure (tsf) 0.000 0.064 0.131 0.264...
Question 2 [Marks: 15 +10=25] 200kPa of construction stress was applied on top of the soil layers as shown in the figure below. (1) Calculate the settlement in the clay layer due to the construction (minimum of 2 sub layers is to be used). (W) If the soil went through 90% average degree of consolidation in 1 year, calculate the coefficient of consolidation (C.). 个 Sand Y = 20kN/m 4m Water table Clay (over consolidated) y = 16kN/m 100 4m...
