|!;⁹ ELABORATE Try solving the following problem: Practice Problem: Figure 4.25 shows a soil profile. The uniformly distributed load on the ground surface is Ao. Given Ao = 1000 lb/ft²; H₁ = 8ft; H2 = 15ft; and H3 = 18ft. Also: *Sand: Ya = 110 lb/ft³; Ysat = 116 lb/ft³ *Clay: Ysat = 120 lb/ft³; LL = 50%; e = 0.90; Cs (1/6) Cc Estimate the primary consolidation settlement if: a. The clay is normally consolidated b. The preconsolidation pressure, o = 2600 lb/ft² H₂ Figure 4.25 Ac ↓ Sand Clay Cengage Leaming 2014 IN
