Question

Refer to Figure Q3. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the clay layer.

Given:

Δ? = 85 ??/?²

?₁ = 2 ?

?₂ = 4 ?

?₃ = 6 ?.

Soil characteristics are as follows (use appropriate relations):
• Sand: ? = 0.65; ?? = 2.66
• Clay: ?? = 54;? = 0.98; ?? = 2.74; ?'_c = 150 ??/?²; ?? = 1/6 ?_c

Question 3
Refer to Figure Q3. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the clay layer.
Given: Ao = 85 kN/m²; H, = 2 m; H2 = 4 m; and H3 = 6 m.
Soil characteristics are as follows (use appropriate relations from the Appendix):
Sand: e = 0.65; G = 2.66
