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 soil profile is shown below. The soil sample is taken from depth of 11m, a) Is it OC or NC soil? b) If it is loaded with A6= 28 t/m2 calculate the settlement of clay layer.

(4). (8 pts). A soil profile is shown in below Figure. A uniformly distributed load Ao is applied at the surface of soil. Given the preconsolidation pressure is between swell index and compression index is: C C/6. The unit weight of water is: -9.38 kN/m. If U-98% we regard it as a completion of primary consolidation. We have taken the clay sample and done the Atterberg Limit test. For the liquid limit test, the result is as below. Please ơ'-926...
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...
TO. A uniformly distributed surcharge of T50 kN/m2 was applied at the ground surface of the soil profile shown below. Based on the consolidation laboratory ratio is 0.8, compression index is 0.45 and swell index is 0.1, det (30 points) results, the initial void ermine the following: A) Effective stress and pore water pressure at the mid-depth of layer 4. B) Primary consolidation settlement if the clay layer is normally consolidated. C) Primary consolidation settlement if the precompression pressure i5...
Also, calculate the time it will take for 90% consolidation to occur. Submit the answer in days. Calculate the consolidation settlement at the middle of the clay layer for the soil profile and strip (continuous) footing shown below. Use the lavg equation in question 1 for the clay layer. Use 150 lb/ft3 for the unit weight of concrete. Submit the answer in inches. 2,000 lb/ft continuouS 1.5 feet footing 2.5 ft 5.0 ft 12.0 ft e = 0.65 = 120...
a) Use phase diagrams to derive the relationship between; S, Co, co, e, P and P° [5] b) A footing is to be located 5ft below ground level, as shown in Figure 2 below. The base of the square footing is 8ft by 8ft and it exerts a total load of 240 tons, which includes column load, weight of footing, and weight of soil surcharge on the footing. Find the total expected primary consolidation settlement for the clay layer 115)...
1. An 8-m thick normally consolidated clay layer is doubly drained as shown below. (This means that a very pervious layer compared to the clay exists on top of and under the clay layer) The embankment applied an average vertical stress increase of 100 kPa to the clay layer. The water table is located at the mid depth of the sand layer. Assume the sand above the water table is dry 0 Pore water pressure, u (kPa) 20 40 60...
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...
Please, show step by step and clearly. problem 9.17, (Use 3 equally divided sub-layers for the 15 m clay layer). thanks please, resolve question 9.17 (Use 3 equally divided sub-layers for the 15 m clay layer) 9.16 The soil profile and the loading condition are given in the followin n) figure. Total new footing stress including the foundation at z 2 is 400 kN/m2. The soil profile has a rather thick clay layer (15 so that the layer should be...
