Transcribed Image Text:1- Consider the soil profile shown below subjected to the uniformly distributed load, Ao, on the ground surface.
Given: d0-650 lb/f²; Hi =5 ft, H: =12 ft; and Hs=18 ft. Soil characteristics are as follows:
Sand: ya =95 (Ib/f), Yat =122 (lb/ft)
• Clay: Yat =128 (Ib ft'), LL=38, e=0.74, Cs=0.15Ce
How long will it take for 75% consolidation to be over in the field? Given: C, =0.0372 in'/min.
