10.17 A 4.0 m thick fill is to be made of a soil with a Proctor maximum dry unit weight of 19.4 kN/m² and an optimum moisture content of 13.0%. This fill will be compacted at optimum moisture content to an average relative compaction of 92%. The underlying soils are as shown in Figure 10.26. Consolidation tests were performed at Points A and B, with the following results: Sample A Сс 0.59 Cr ୧୦ 0.19 1.90 σ (kPa) 75 B 0.37 0.14 1.21 100 The silty sand is normally consolidated. Using hand computations, determine the ultimate consolidation settlement due to the weight of this fill.
