Soil mechanics A 1.2 m height highway embankment of large lateral extent is to be placed over a surface claydeposit of 10 m thickness which is underlain by sand as shown in the figure below.A- Compute the primary consolidation settlement expected under the embankment. (Ans: 8.78 cm)B- If the maximum allowable settlement of the embankment surface pavement is 3cm, when shouldthe pavement be placed after completion of embankment placement?.
