The answer should be

A. 0.242m

B. 0.0484m

C. 0.0764 m

Transcribed Image Text:The soil profile shown carries a uniformly distributed load of 75 kPa applied at the ground surface. Use Cs = 1/5 Cc. Determine the settlement of the clay layer due to primary consolidation considering the following cases: a. The clay is normally consolidated (0.242m) b. If Pc = 205 kPa (0.0484m) If OCR = 1.6219 (0.0764m) C. 75 kN/m 2.4 m SAND ydry 14.75kN/m V GWT 4.6 m SAND ysat 17.45KN/m ysat = 20.62 kN/m³ e =0.9 LL - 50 5,2m CLAY SETTLEMENT DUE TO SECONDARY CONSOLIDATION Ss = C'a H log ) Eq. 14 Ca 1 + ep Ae C'a = Eq. 15 Ca = Eq. 16 log () where: Ss = secondary consolidation settlement Ca = secondary compression index e, = void ratio at the end of primary consolidation = e,-Ae H = thickness of clay layer t1, t2 = time
