Problem 7 The soil profile at a site consists of a top 4 m layer of dense sand followed by 2 m of clay, which is underlain by a stiff stratum. The water table is at 2 m below the ground level. The following data was obtained from a consolidation test on an undisturbed sample obtained from the middle of the clay layer: water content 5 36%, specific gravity of the clay grains = 2.72, compression index = 0.72, recompression...
1. A retaining wall of height 7 m retains soil having an unsurcharged horizontal surface. The soil properties are c' = 0, Ⓡ' = 32, y = 18 kN/m3 and Ysat= 20 kN/m3. i. ii. Determine the distribution of horizontal stresses on the wall and the magnitude of resultant thrust when water table is at 3 m below the ground surface Determine the magnitude of resultant thrust when the water table is well below the base of the wall Determine...
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...
