A soil profile consists of a clay layer underlain by a sand layer, as shown in figure. If a tube is inserted into the bottom sand layer and the water level rises to 1m above the ground surface, determined the vertical effective stresses and porewater pressures at A, B, and C. if ko is 0.5, determine the effective and total lateral stresses at A, B, and C. what is the value of the value of the porewater pressure at A...

[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...

Figure P3 shows the soil profile at a site for a proposed office building. It is expected that the vertical stress at the top of the clay will increase by 150 kPa and at the bottom by 90 kPa. Assurning a linear stress distribution within the clay: (a) Calculate the consolidation settlement. You should divide the clay into five layers, compute the settlement for each layer, and then find the total settlement. Assume G = 2.7 for both sand and...
