Find over consolidation ratio at the mid point of the clay layer

Transcribed Image Text:The soil profile at a construction site is shown in the figure (not to scale). Ground water table (GWT) is at 5 m below the ground level at present. An old well data shows that the ground water table was as low as 10 m below the ground level in the past. Take unit weight of water. Yw = 9.81 kN/m³. Sand y = 17.5 kN/m² Yeat = 18.5 kN/m² Clay Yeat = 17 kN/m³ Prevent GWT 15 m Ground Level 8m -Z... 5m
