Problem 5
A normally consolidated clay layer, 3m thick, has the following
properties:
Initial void ration, eo = 0.8
Compression Index, Cc = 0.25
Average effective pressure, o'o = 110 kPa
Expected pressure increase due to loading on ground surface = 40kPa
Secondary compression index, Ca = 0.02
Time for completion of primary settlement = 1.5 years
What is the total settlement of the clay layer five years after the completion of primary
consolidation settlement?
