Box 2.12 Calculating settlement. Worked example A large landfill is planned on 10 m of normally consoli- midpoint can be taken as representative of the whole dated clays with an underlying rock stratum. The water table is at ground surface. Clay samples extracted from the stratum at an intermediate point at a depth of 5 m provide the following soil properties: saturated unit weight, Kat = 20 kN/m3, void ratio, e, = 0.8, and compression index, ç = 0.15. Determine the settlement of the clay layer if stratum: Final void ratio: a+ Aơ ep -e =c log 50+ 80 the increase in vertical stress due to the landfill load is = 0.8 -e =0.15 log- 50 = e- 0.74 Aơ = 80 kPa. Vertical unit strain: Solution: eo - er Ho 1+eo 0.8-0.74 The hypothesis of uniform loading over an infinite lateral extent, allows one-dimensional conditions to be assumed. The figure shows the effective stress distribution corre- sponding to the initial and final situations (unit weight of water is , = 10 kN/m³). Taking that the…

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
Not interested in the calculations, just want to see the graph so please display that for me instead of the e calculations. Note) For soil sample in Table 2, initial thickness of sample = 14.31 mm, sample area = 2827.433 mm^2 , dry weight measured at the end of test = 52.53 g, specific gravity = 2.7. (Please draw graph possible) Also Determine the compression index and expansion index using graph
