Question
Transcribed Image Text:On the soil profile shown below, a large oil storage tank of diameter 85m is to be constructed,
and the average depth of oil in the tank is 20m and the specific gravity of the oil is 0.93. C. of
the clay is given by 0.004, and Ce is given by 0.04. Estimate the maximum total settlement of
the clay layer neglecting any settlements in the sand layer. The water table is at the top of the
sand layer. Neglect the weight of the tank structure. Assume the pre-consolidation pressure on
the soil as 150 kPa.
