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...

QO vreme (b/n) (6) 3. A 40 ft layer of silty clay is overlain by 5ft of 1000 2000 3000 4000 sand. The base of the clay layer lies over an impervious siltstone bedrock. Water table is at ground surface and is hydrostatic in the clay layer. The initial vertical effective stress do'and maximum past pressure profiles with depth are plotted in the Figure to the right. Initial void ratio e, -0.95. One- dimensional consolidation test results yielded the following:...

You are evaluating the geotechnical characteristics of a Miami site for a proposed office building. Subsurface investigation showed that the site consists of the following layers: (1) a 5-ft sandy laver with a unit weight of 100 pcf (2) a 10-ft silty sand layer with a saturated unit weight of 115 pcf. (3) a 20-ft saturated clay layer with a unit weight of 118 pef, void ratio of 0.85, and underlain by gravels. The site seemed to have strong potential...

The soil profile at a site consists of a clay layer 10 m thick, sandwich between two sand layers. The top sand layer has a density of 1.9 Mg/m² and is 5 m thick. Below this layer is a 10 m thick clay layer with a saturated density of 1.8 Mg/m' and a saturated water content 42%. The deeper sand layer has a saturated density of 1.9 Mg/m² and extend to the depth investigated at the site. The...

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%...
