A surcharge of 100 kPa is applied over a large area above the soil profile shown in the figure below. Calculate the coefficient of consolidation in mm2/min if an average degree of consolidation of 30% was measured on site 90 days after the start of the loading event. (acceptable tolerance = 10%).
A soil specimen, 1.5 in. thick (double drainage condition) was tested in the laboratory. For a given load increment, the time for 60% consolidation was 58.5 sec. How long will it take to reach the same degre of consolidation for a similar layer in the field that is 5-ft thick and drained on one side only.
A 3 m thick saturated soil stratum has a compression index of 0.25 and coefficient of permeability 3.2 x 10-3 mm/sec. If the voids ratio is 1.5 at vertical stress of 0.10 N/mm2, compute the voids ratio when the vertical stress is increased to 0.25 N/mm2. Also calculate settlement due to above stress increase and time required for 50% consolidation. Assume single drainage.
