Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

. The soil profile at a site consists of 2 m of sand underlain by 6 m of clay, which is underlain by very stiff clay that can be assumed to be impervious and incompressible. The water table lies 1.5 m below the ground level. The soil properties are as follows:Sand: gsat 5 18.5 kN/m3, gm 5 17.0 kN/m3Clay: e0 5 0.810, gsat 5 19.0 kN/m3, cv 5 4.5 m2/yearWhen the ground is surcharged with 3 m-high compacted fill with a bulk unit weight of 19 kN/m3, the settlement was 160 mm in the first year.a. What would be the settlement in two years?b. After one year since the fill was placed, what would be the pore water pressure and the effective stress at the middle of the clay layer?c.
