Hydrocarbon extraction is causing a ground subsidence (sinking) at a rate of 2 mm/yr. The sand size is 0.2 mm, the berm height B is 2 m, and the closure depth h, is 6 m. If no nourishment is carried out, what would be the effect of subsidence on the shoreline position? Quantify any shoreline change rate. What would be the annual nourishment requirement per unit beach length to obtain a stable shoreline?

A developer plans to extend Bayview Haven residential estate in Darwin by constructing a 3.5mm fill platform over very soft mangrove silty clay soils. Borehole drilling indicates the very soft clay soils are 5m thick and underlain by rock of extremely low permeability, with the water table at the ground surface. Laboratory testing indicates the following geotechnical properties of the soils: • Very Soft Silty Clay: Degree of saturation - 100%, Coefficient of Volume Compressibility (m.) - 0.85 MPa', coefficient of consolidation of clay (c.) = 2.5 m/yr; dry unit weight - 13 kN/m', moisture content - 38%. Compacted fill: bulk unit weight = 22 kN/m'. (a) Estimate the final consolidation settlement (s.) of the clay layer AM (b) Estimate the consolidation settlement after 14.5 months (c) How long will it take the silty clay layer to reach 90% consolidation, in years. (d) If the silty clay has an overconsolidation ratio (OCR) of 1.5, what is the preconsolidation pressure at the midpoint of…

Box 2.12 Calculating settlement. Worked example A large landfill is planned on 10 m of normally consoli- midpoint can be taken as representative of the whole dated clays with an underlying rock stratum. The water table is at ground surface. Clay samples extracted from the stratum at an intermediate point at a depth of 5 m provide the following soil properties: saturated unit weight, Kat = 20 kN/m3, void ratio, e, = 0.8, and compression index, ç = 0.15. Determine the settlement of the clay layer if stratum: Final void ratio: a+ Aơ ep -e =c log 50+ 80 the increase in vertical stress due to the landfill load is = 0.8 -e =0.15 log- 50 = e- 0.74 Aơ = 80 kPa. Vertical unit strain: Solution: eo - er Ho 1+eo 0.8-0.74 The hypothesis of uniform loading over an infinite lateral extent, allows one-dimensional conditions to be assumed. The figure shows the effective stress distribution corre- sponding to the initial and final situations (unit weight of water is , = 10 kN/m³). Taking that the…
