Question
Below Figure represents the average soil profile obtained from boreholes, at the site of a proposed building whose foundation is to be placed at a depth of 2.5m. The ground water table is at a depth of 3.5m. It is estimated that the additional stress on the N clay layer due to the weight of the building will be 150k at the top of the clay and m N 70k at the bottom of the clay. Following results were obtained from consolidation m tests: N Unit weights: sand above water table -19.0k- 3i saturated sand -21.0k- m N lay - 19.5k- m Determine the settlement of the clay layer. N m
