Measuring site work, Excavation and Piling

Bid drawings typically include very little material about the precise requirements of site work operations, measuring site work and excavation work differs from measuring most other works on a construction project. The actual site work conditions are not provided and also the dimensions of the excavations are not known during the pre-construction phase. The precise measurement of the excavation and backfill of the earth material and topsoil is important for a contractor to decide upon the total cost required for the process. All the works should be carried out under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards to ensure the safety of the workers.

Question

A sheet pile has an embedment depth of 12 m
in a homogeneous soil stratum. The coefficient
of permeability of soil is 10-6 m/s. Difference

6 m thick silty sand filling was laid on a 12 m thick compressible clay layer with controlled compression technique. Under this clay layer, there is a 4 m thick pebbly sand layer. Assuming that the settlement of the embankment and gravel-sand layer is insignificant compared to the settlement of the clay layer, calculate the consolidation settlement of the clay layer and when 50% of this settlement will occur. NOTE: You can make the settlement calculation as a single layer calculation.
