geotechnical engineering question
1. A soil profile is shown in the figure. A uniformly distributed load of 75kPa is applied at the ground surface. The clay is normally consolidated. Compute the compression index Compute the primary consilidation settlement
I need the answer quickly
Compute the settlement of the clay layer caused by primary consolidation if the pre consolidation pressure of the clay is 96kPa. use approximate method for average vertical stress.
Refer to Figure below. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the clay layer. Given: Δσ = 150 kN/m2; H1 = 3 m; H2 = 4 m; and H3= 5 m. Soil characteristics are as follows: • Sand: γdry = 15 kN/m3, γsat = 19 kN/m3 • Clay: LL = 65; e = 0.65; γsat = 18 kN/m3; ; Cs =1/6cc σʹc = 200 kN/m2
