Consider the soil profile shown in the figure subjected to the uniformly distributed load, Ao on the ground
surface. Given: Ao = 26 kN/m^2; H1 = 1.83 m; , H2 = 3.66 m: and H3 = 5.5 m. Soil characteristics are as
follows:
Sand: yd = 17.9 kN/m3: ysat = 18.5 kN/m3
Clay: ysat = 18.3 kN/m3 . LL=38; e-0.73; Cs=(1/5) Cc
Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the clay if
a) The clay is normally consolidated
b) The preconsolidation pressure oc=105 kN/m2
