Answer: Su = 26.7 kPa 2. The properties of a natural soil deposit are M =...
Question 2 The soil profile at a level site consists of a 3-m thick layer of sandy clay, overlaying an 8-m thick layer of loose sand, overlaying stiff gravelly clays that extend to depths greater than 20 m. The water table is at a depth of 2 m and the ground water is initially hydrostatic. The total unit weight of the upper sandy clay, above or below the water table, is 18 kN/m3. The total unit weight of the loose...
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...
