Question
Q2) A temporary fill of 253 kN/m² was placed on the surface of the soil shown in figure below. After
final consolidation was achieved, the fill got removed and a circular footing, 5.5m in diameter was
constructed at 1m below the ground surface. Estimate:
i.
Total consolidation settlement due to fill.
Total consolidation settlement after 85 days of fill application.
iii. Total heave (expansion) of the soil surface after of the fill was removed.
iv.
Total consolidation settlement due to footing when uniform pressure of 103 kN/m² on the
footing surface.
