Concept explainers

Consolidation parameters

Consolidation is the process of expulsion of pore water present in the voids of soil solids under the pressure of the applied load. This is a quick process in the case of coarse-grained soils since the permeability is high due to the presence of more voids, while it is a slow and gradual process in the case of clayey soil as the permeability of clay is less. An example of consolidation is the settlement of soil under a building due to the load coming from the building.

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.

4- A 22 ft clay layer in the field (drained on one side) is normally consolidated. When the pressure is increased from 1,000 lb/f? to 3,000o 1b/ft?, the void ratio decreases from 0.9 to 0.75. The hydraulic conductivity, k, of the clay for the above loading range was found to be 2.4 x 10 in'sec. a) How long (in days) will it take for the clay layer to reach 50% consolidation? b) What is the settlement at that time (that is, at 50% consolidation)?
