Q.3/A) For the soil profile shown in Figure (2): 1- Find the final consolidation settlement. 2- Having the final consolidation settlement of (20) cm, find the void ratio after 18 months. 3- If the water table level (W.T.L.) rise to be at the middle of the sand layer (1 m below ground level), find the final consolidation settlement under the same surcharge. Fig. 2 2m 5 m Surcharge Aq,- 80 kPa www. Ydry = 15.0 kN/m³/ Ysat = 17.0 kN/m³ Ysat = 18.5 kN/m²/ Cv = 1.5 m²/year e=0.8/ Cr=0.02/ Ce=0.25 Pre-consolidation stress = 125 kPa Sand W.T.L Sand Clay w S1812
