Question

Refer to Figure below. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the clay layer. Given: Δσ = 150 kN/m²; H₁ = 3 m; H₂ = 4 m; and H₃= 5 m. Soil characteristics are as follows:

• Sand: γ_dry = 15 kN/m³, γ_sat = 19 kN/m³

• Clay: LL = 65; e = 0.65; γ_sat = 18 kN/m³; ; Cs =1/6cc

σʹ_c = 200 kN/m²
