g=9.81m/s^2 When it say "preconsolidated under vertical effective stress of 130 kPa", this means that the preconsolidation pressure at the centre of the clay layer is 130 kPa, NOT that 130 kPa was applied as a surcharge at the surface. In the following questions, you do not need to divide the clay layer into multiple layers to calculate the consolidation settlement. Asume the clay to be only one layer q 50 kN/m2 3.0 m dry WT Sand: Ysat 1k -17...

Vertical Incremental Stress/Strip &Rectangular loading 1) Show the steps for calculating m and n for point B, 2) show your rectangle and 3) select one of the options below which is correct for m and n for point B. The figure above is the plan of a rectangular raft foundation carrying a uniformly distributed load. The raft is symmetrical about lines CD and CB. When computing the incremental vertical stress at 2 m below point B, what values of "m"...
3. A building with a rectangular footing is constructed as the following figure. The design building load to the footing is 13800 kN. Find the distributed stress (Ao) and final effective stress (o'vf) due to the rectangular footing at the following locations: a. at the interception point of the footing corner and mid-point of the clay layer b. at the intersection point of the footing center and mid-point of the clay layer You need to use the superposition approach c....
please show step by step (also show how to find the vertical stress increase) 18 A new petroleum storage tank is proposed at an oil refinery to be supported by a 20-meter diameter slab foundation at the ground surface. The structure will produce a uniform load of 110 kN/m2 on the entire slab foundation. A subsurface investigation has revealed the shown soil profile. A series of laboratory tests on representative samples obtained from the clay stratum has resulted in the...
5, A soil element inside a 20° natural soil slope carries total vertical stress (%) of 140 kPa, total horizontal stress (on) of 80 kPa and shear stress (Tvh) of 15 kPa Canticlockwise shear stress on vertical plane). The pore-water pressure (u) inside the element is 30 kPa. The critical state angle of friction of the soil is 30o and its undrained shear strength is 40 kPa. (a) Draw the Mohr's stress circles for this element in terms of total...

Problem 4: a) Calculate the total overburden, effective stress and pore pressure distribution for the soil profile below. Neglect the surcharge for this analysis. Draw out all pressure profiles in a neat manner using a ruler. NO sketches and sloppy drawings permitted. b) Calculate the change in pressure if the water table rises to the interface of the clayey/sandy soil layers. You may show your results graphically or report the change in pressures along with the new pressures at the...
