7) (Total 20 pts) The figure shows a 20 m thick layer of normally consolidated clay (Y -18.6 kN/m3) that is one-dimensionally loaded by Δσ,-50kPa. The clay layer is below a 3 m thick layer of granular fill (y = 19.6 kN/m3), and a dense, compacted glacial till (impermeable) underlies the clay. The water table is located at the top of the clay layer. A 1-D consolidation test is performed on a 2.20 cm thick, doubly drained specimen from the...

7. A normally consolidated clay layer has LL-40. A new structure was built, introducing loads that cause the effective stress to double. How much will the void ratio of the clay change as a result? Will this be an increase or decrease in void ratio? 8. A direct shear test was conducted and the results are summarized in the graph below. What is the approximate angle of friction, cohesion, and shear strength? (8 pts) (psf) 3168- 1920 296- "N (psf)...

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...

help with problems 1 & 2 please and explain
Problem 1 A deposit of Swedish clay is 15 m thick drained at both top and bottom. The coefficient of consolidation for the clay layer was estimated to be 1 x 10 cm/sec from laboratory test. The ultimate consolidation settlement (Sc) was calculated under the applied load in the field and was found 80 cm. Find the following: a) How long would it take for settlement of 40 cm and 70...

Data needed to be calculated is in highlighted in green boxes.
And I highlighted in red an equation (not sure if thats what you
use to calculate it) And ignore the lab instructions on completeing
a graph!! I already know how to do that in excel, just curious how
Ln (relative rate) and 1/T in K^-1 is calculated by hand*
here is the rest of that lab leading up to the question as I
