12. A stratum of clay 1.8 m thick below an incompressible soil will be subjected to a stress increase of 36 kPa. The magnitude of the preconstruction soil overburden pressure in laboratory compression tests indicates that the clay is overconsolidated with a preconsolidation pressure equal to 72 kPa. The value of the compression index Cc= 0.30 and the swell index is equal to 0.05, void ratio of the clay is 1.50. Determine the change in thickness in the clay layer due to this condition

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.
