[Problems 1-4] The soil profile at a site for a proposed office building consists of a layer of fine sand 10.4 m thick above a layer of soft, normally consolidated clay 2 m thick. Below the soft clay is a deposit of coarse sand. The groundwater table was observed at 3 m below ground level. The void ratio of the sand is 0.76, and the water content of the clay is 43%. The building will impose a vertical stress increase...

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...

For the soil strata, draw diagrams indicating the total stress, pore pressure and effective stress profiles to the bottom of clay layer. Fine sand has a thickness of 6 m (FST) with saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m2. Clay has a thickness of 8 m with saturated unit weight of 14 kN/m3 The water table is located at depth of 0.7 of fine sand thickness below the ground surface (i.e. depth=0.7*FST). Fine sand will sustain capillarity (suction). Assume the same...

1. (25 points) The soil profile at a site consists of a layer of fine sand 5 m thick above a layer of clay 4 m thick. Below the clay is a layer of impermeable rock. The groundwater table was observed at 2 m below ground level. The unit weight of the sand above and below the water table is 20 KN/m'. The water content of the clay is 25% and its dry unit weight is 15 KN/m'. The compression...
