Two parallel road tunnels are being constructed for 6 lanes in the basalts. The tun-nels are D-shaped with diameter (B) of around 16 m and 2 m high side walls with clearspacing of 20 m. The maximum overburden (H) is 165 m. The rock mass parameters are,RMR = 73, Q = 10, Ja=1.0, Jr = 3.0 and Jw = 1.0 (minor seepage from side walls). Theconstruction engineers want rapid rate of tunnelling and life of support system should be100 years. The uniaxial compressive strength of SFRS is 30 MPa and its flexural strengthis 3.7 MPa.

O Compute the immediate settlement beneath the center of a 5 m x 5 m flexible footine resting at 0.5 m depth and applying a stress of 100 kN/m² on the following two sol deposits: (i) Unsaturated clay of high plasticity with an average undrained strength (g.) of 150 kN/m? for a depth range of 0-25 m below ground surface. Assume u = 0.35 and E = 300q,. (ii) Dry dense sand with an average E value of 30 × 103 kN/m2 for depth down to 10 m and below that to a depth of 25 m with an average E value of 60 × 10* kN/m2. Assume u = 0.3. [Let Influence factor, I for = 1 at the centre is 1.12]
Compute the settlement of the clay layer caused by primary consolidation if the pre consolidation pressure of the clay is 96kPa. use approximate method for average vertical stress.

A stratum of clay is 2m thick and has an initial vertical effective stress of 50 KN/m2. The foundation load caused an increased pressure of 40 KN/m2 at the mid-layer of clay. Consolidation test revealed the following results: overconsolidation ratio (OCR) = 1.5 Compression index = 0.25 Recompression index = 0.05 Secondary compression index = 0.02 Initial void ratio = 0.90 Determine the following a. the primary consolidation settlement of the clay layer (in mm). b. If the primary consolidation settlement took 2 years to achieve in the field, calculate the secondary consolidation settlement after a period of 5 years (in mm). c. the preconsolidation pressure (in KPa. Note: Kindly give all right solutions with clear calculations.
A normally consolidated clay layer is 18 m thick. Natural water content is 45 %, saturated unit weight is 18 kN/m3 , grain specific gravity is 2.7 and liquid limit is 63 %. The vertical stress increment at the center of clay layer due to foundation load is 9 kPa. Ground water table is at the surface. Determine the settlement.
