A 3m deep sand layer has a specific gravity of 2.68 and a void ratioof 0.60. Under this layer is a 2.5m deep clay profile with a specific gravity of 2.7 and a moisture content of 30%. The water table is observed at 1m below the ground surface. Determine the compression index of a normally consolidated clay after the surcharge of 75kPa. Clay is observed to have a void ratio of 0.40 after the surcharge. (Assume unit weight of soil profile above the clay layer is the same when the soil was not subjected to surcharge load).

During the construction of a housing project, it is estimated that the average permanent load on a clay layer located at 6 m below ground surface will increase by about 200 kPa. The average effective overburden pressure at the middle of the 4.5 m thick clay is 100 kPa. The result from soil sample testing givens the consolidation parameters eo = 0.96, Cc = 0.45, Cv = 2.5 m2/year, and the clay is in www normally consolidated condition. Estimate the total consolidation settlement that will happen and the time taken to achieve 90% consolidation stage.
