Question

Use unit weight of water = 10kN/m3 in the following questions. A soil profile is shown in Figure Q2(c). If a uniform distributed load of 50 kN/m2 is applied at the ground surface, compute the average settlement of the clay layer caused by primary consolidation if;

i)Determine the existing overburden effective stress at mid of clay layer

ii) Settlement in clay if, the clay is normally consolidated, given Cc = 0.0085(LL-10)

iii) Settlement in clay if, the preconsolidation pressure, pc’=200 kN/m2, given Cr=1/5Cc. Use Cc obtained in part (ii).
