Question
Transcribed Image Text:A 1.2 m height highway embankment of
large lateral extent is to be placed over
a surface clay deposit of 10 m thickness
which is underlain by sand as shown in
the figure below.
A- Compute the ultimate settlement
expected under the embankment.
Embankment of large extent (y = 16.1 KN/m')
B- If the maximum tolerable settlement
G.W.T
of the embankment surface pavement is
3cm, when should the pavement be
placed after completion of embankment
placement?
C- What is the average excess pore
Clay
= 18.1 KN/m
