-meter clay layer ( e= 0.96, Gs = 2.67, Cc = 0.308) is overlain with 3-meter-thick sand layer (e = 0.84, G=2.8).The water table is at the interface of the sand and clay layer. If a 2-meter-thick landfill (y= 17.3 kN/m3) is placed over the existing ground surface, compute the consolidation settlement (in mm). of the clay layer. Hint: use the land fill's resulting pressure on the ground surface as the stress increase.

In the soil profile shown below, if the water table changes from level WT0 to level WT1 permanently, what is the change in the ground surface elevation in mm in the long term after primary consolidation is completed? Assume that the clay layer is initially normally consolidated. Use a single clay layer in your calculations and positive value for settlement. (Acceptable tolerance = 4%)
Table 1 below is the result of compaction results. Please evaluate the correct combination of missing data.

5. Calculate the consolidation settlement of the clay layer in the soil profile shown below due to a surcharge of Ao-25 kPa. What would be your suggestion to reduce this settlement? Assume the unit weight of water to be 10 kN/m³. B m SANDY 20 kN/m² CLAY Y18 kN/m OCR-1.2 C-0.05 Ce-0.45 -0.9 GW
A clay fill has a bulk density of 1.9 g/ce. If the moisture content is 17.8% . find the dry density
ssion begins when the primary consolidation ends. B. The soil from a borrow area is excavated and used in a compacted fill for an embankment. The void ratio at the borrow area and the compacted fill are 0.96 and 0.62, respectively. What would be the volume of the excavation in the borrow area to construct 200,000 m3 of compacted fill? Q2:
A fill having volume of 150000 m³ is to be constructed at a void ratio of 0.8. The borrow pit solid has a void ratio of 1.4. The volume of soil required to be excavated from the borrow pit will be (a) 150000 m³ (c) 250000 m³ (b) 200000 m³ (d) 300000 m³
Need solution for this…….
A soil deposit has a void ratio of 1.0 If the void ratio is reduced to 0.60 by compaction, the percentage volume loss is A 10% B 20% C 30% D 40%
