Question
Q2: For the soil profile and loading condition shown in Figure (2). Find:
a) Final consolidation settlement.
b) Time required for the settlement to be (42) mm.
c) The settlement after 2 years.
Surcharge Aq= 100 kPa
2 m
Sand y= 19.5 kN/m
3 m
Sand Ysat = 21 kN/ m
Clay
= 200 kN/m²
C. = 0.2
C, = 3.4 m/yr
Ysat = 19 kN/m
8 m
e, = 0.85
C, = 0.04
