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...
soil mechanics Q4) From the figure and soil profile as below find the following: 1) the final consolidation for clay layer under the center of bridge pier as shown below. use the approximate method to calculate the increasing stress in soil. 2) the coefficient of volume compressibility (mv) of clay layer. mass= 2*106 kg footing =10m x 8m 3m y=16.62kN/m3 2m They WT 7m 10m Sand and graver Ysat=19.8kN/m3 Clay Cc=0.33,w=30%,Gs=2.7, Ysat=19.8kN/m3 sand and gravel 4m

(10 points) A consolidation test performed on a sample from -depth of the clay layer results the following: initial void ratio = 0.6-e coefficient of re-compression = 0.025-Cr coefficient of compression 0.224 C preconsolidation stress 3000 psf. coefficient of consolidation = 0.065 ft2/day a) Calculate the primary consolidation setlement of the clay layer due to the proposed fill. b) Find the time it takes to complete 90% of the estimated primary consolidation settlement. a) Proposed fill y 120 lbt...
2) You are given the soil deposit shown below. Assume c,-0.1 ftiday and c0.1 ftday. You have previously calculated that the total ultimate settlement of the clay layer will be 131 ft and it will take 1,908 days to achieve an average degrec of consolidation of 90%. Consider these two options for OPTION : SURCHARGE If you want to accelerate settiement such that an average degree of consolidation of 90% would be achieved in 2 years, how much surcharge would...
Laboratory tests on a 2.5 cm thick clay sample that is drained on both sides indicates that 50% consolidation occurs after 8.5 minutes (a) How long will it take for 50% consolidation for the same clay in the field that is 4 m thick but drained at the top only? (b) Find the time required for the same clay layer in Part (a) to reach 65% consolidation.
Problem 2. [2596] Figure 2 shows a soil profile. The uniformly distributed load on the ground surface is (1) Estimate the primary consolidation settlement of the clay layer due to the application of Ap. (2) If the clay layer is preconsolidated and the average preconsolidation pressure is 80 kPa, what will be the expected primary consolidation settlement if the recompression index is C 0.2 x Cc? p 87 kPa 1 m Dry Sand Sand: Saturated Sand Dry Unit weight: 14.6...
