For a sand drain project the following are given: Clay: Normally consolidated H. = 5.5 m (one-way drainage) C = 0.3 e, = 0.76 C, = 0.015 m/day Effective overburden pressure at the middle of clay layer = 80 kN/m? Sand drain: r= 0.07 m de = 2.5 m Cy = Cyr A surcharge is applied as shown in Figure P5.13. Calculate the degree of consolidation and the consolidation settlement 50 days after the beginning of the surcharge application. Surcharge (kN/m?) 70 →Time (days) 30 FIGURE P.5.13

Transcribed Image Text:For a sand drain project the following are
given:
Clay: Normally consolidated
H. = 5.5 m (one-way drainage)
C = 0.3
e, = 0.76
C, = 0.015 m/day
Effective overburden pressure at the middle
of clay layer = 80 kN/m?
Sand drain: r= 0.07 m
de = 2.5 m
Cy = Cyr
A surcharge is applied as shown in Figure P5.13. Calculate
the degree of consolidation and the consolidation settlement
50 days after the beginning of the surcharge application.
Surcharge (kN/m?)
70
→Time (days)
