1. A 3m x 3m square footing is constructed at a depth of 2m in a 200m deep clay layer with following soil properties: Ysat 16.5kN/m3, Normally Consolidated Clay, eo- 0.65, Cc 0.25, us-0.5 and Es 6.0 MN/m2. If there is a 1,000kN structural load on the footing, calculate the consolidation settlement of the footing
A group pile in clay is shown in the figure below. Determine the maximum vertical load Qg can be applied if the allowable consolidation settlement of the pile group is set to be 0.2 m. Use the 2: 1 stress distribution method to estimate the average effective stress in the clay layer.

Q1) An oedometer test was performed on a 2 cm thick clay sample drained on both sides taken from the mid clay layer shown below , after 10 minutes 50% consolidation is reached. a) How long time in days would the same degree of consolidation(50%) be reached in the field ?. b) How much the Final settlement would be reached in the clay layer.? c) How much the preconsolidation pressure of a specimen. ? 3m 2m Sand surcharge Y= 17...
For the soil profile shown below, calculate the final settlement due to the placement of the sand fill. Estimate the excess pore pressure at a depth of 1.5 m into the third clay layer 1.5 years after the fill is placed. Assume the coefficient of consolidation is Cv = 1.8 m2/yr. Fill y = 16.0 kN/m² (3m thick) Clay 1 (3m thick) Sand (0.5m thick) Clay 2 (2m thick) Sand (0.5m thick) Clay 3 (4m thick) Sand (0.5m thick) eo...
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...
A 5m wide and 10m long rectangular foundation is built on a site where the soil profile consists of 3m of gravel and 4m of clay overlying rigid impermeable rock as shown in Fiqure 8. The foundation carries a surcharge loading of q-65 kN/m2 Initially the water table is 1 m below the surface of the gravel. The water table rises to the surface of the gravel slowly over a period of time and the surface loading induces an increase...

settlement calculation confused as how the settlement per soil layer was obtained in mm, not getting the unit conversion right. For example, when I apply for formula s for first layer I obtain s=97.6 but the answer is 9.76 mv= 0.8 m^2/MN ness Terzaghi's method S- depth below L'/z foundation 9.8 61 0.24 5 6.6 4.2 2 41 0.16 0.101 1.67 0.67 2 26 18 0.4 5 2.9 2 0.29 0.22 0.069 0.71 0.56 1.9 12 0.045 25.4 It is...
