Question 20 A soil profile consists of sand (5-m thick) which overlies a layer of clay (9-m thick). Ground water table is located at the interface of the sand and clay. The effective stress at the bottom of the clay layer was determined. If the water table rises to the top of the ground surface, what is the change in the effective stress (in kPa) at the bottom of the clay layer? For sand layer: Void Ratio = 0.82, Specific gravity = 2.68, Degree of Saturation = 0.6 For clay layer: Void Ratio = 0.92, Specific gravity = 2.86 Round off to two decimal places.

A 2 m thick clay is singly drained. A structure founded on the surface applied an average stress increase of 50 kPa to this clay layer. A piezometer is installed at the mid-depth of the clay layer. A. What would you expect the initial excess pore pressure reading on the piezometer to be immediately after application of load? B. C. The piezometer recorded a pore pressure of 25 kPa, 1-yr after the application of the stress. What would you expect it to read 2 years later? What is the coefficient of consolidation of this clay in cm²/s?
