. Using the data from Problem 1, estimate the settlement in the sand layer using Hough’s Method. Assume the sand is clean and that N60 = 20.
data:
A clay layer, which is 3 m thick, is overlain by a sand layer which is 3 m thick and extends to the surface. The water table is 1 m from the surface. The sand layer has the following properties: e = 0.58, Gs = 2.65. The normally consolidated clay layer has the following properties: e = 0.8, Gs = 2.75, LL = 60. A uniform surcharge of 100 kPa is then applied to the surface of the soil.

A 2-m clay layer (e = 0.92, G = 2,72. Cc = 1/3) is overlain with 3-m thick of sand layer (e =05, G = 2.62, w = 0). The water table is 15 m bel the ground (sand) surface. If a 3-m thick land fill (r = 17.3 kN/m2) is placed over the existing ground surface, compute the consolidation settlement in mm of the clay layer. (The clay is normally consolidated; final answer should be rounded-off to one decimal...

2. A future development site is to be preloaded with a 310 kPa surface surcharge to reduce potential settlements in a 12.5-m thick soft clay layer. The soft clay is overlain by a 3-m thick sand layer and underlain by permeable bedrock. The groundwater table is at the sand-clay interface. A sample of the soft clay was extracted from a depth of 9 m and a 1D consolidation and compression test was conducted. Compression data obtained from the test are...

1. (25 points) The soil profile at a site consists of a layer of fine sand 5 m thick above a layer of clay 4 m thick. Below the clay is a layer of impermeable rock. The groundwater table was observed at 2 m below ground level. The unit weight of the sand above and below the water table is 20 KN/m'. The water content of the clay is 25% and its dry unit weight is 15 KN/m'. The compression...

(pw= 1000 kg/m; g 9.81 m/s2) on 4 (25 marks) A clay sample was cored at 7 m depth (middle of the clay layer). Based on laboratory test data, it was found that the clay was over-consolidated with OCR = 2.5 (before applying surface loading), compression index Ce 0.44 and recompression index C. = 0.1.

The ground profile of a construction site consists of a 3 m thick layer of sand followed by a 2 m thick layer of clay lying on impervious bedrock. The water table is at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. The sand has a dry unit weight of 16 kN/m3 and a saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m3. The capillary rise in the sand is 0.5 m. The clay has a bulk unit weight of 19 kN/m3....

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...

Estimate the allowable bearing capacity (in kPa - using the LRFD methodology) for a 2.25 m by 2.25 m square and 1 m thick concrete footing. The footing is founded at a depth of 5 m. The footing will be supported by a uniform clean sand layer with N60 = 35 (at a depth of about 2.0 m) and void ratio e = 0.40 (Specific gravity Gs=2.7). Groundwater is located 5 m below the foundation depth.
