As indicated in the following figure, an incompressible silty sand fill 16.4 ft thick wasplaced on top of a 49.2 ft thick layer of soft and compressible silty clay. Underlying theclay is a layer of incompressible sandy gravel. The soil properties of the silty clay layer aregiven in the following figure. The ultimate settlement, Sult = 5.64 ft, from the primaryconsolidation of silty clay layer due to the weight of the silty sand fill is calculated. A) Find the time rate of settlement by showing the Time [year] vs. Settlement [ft] curve.Show sample calculation when percentage of consolidation, Uavg = 50% B) Compute and plot effective stress profile (σ’z vs. depth) at the Silty Clay layer in thefollowing timing:a.
