The time for 50% consolidation of a 25 mm thick clay specimen (drained at top and bottom) in the laboratory is 150 sec. How long (in days) will it take for a 3 m thick layer of the same clay in the field under the same pressure increment to reach 75% consolidation? There is an impermeable shale layer at the bottom of the clay layer in the field I. 2. Use Figure 1 for the following Compute the vertical effective...
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...
