2) Consider the soil profile shown below subjected to the uniformly distributed load, Ao, on the ground surface. Given: Ao = 930 lb/ft², H? = 4.5 ft, H2 = 9 ft, and H3 = 16 ft. Soil characteristics are: Sand: yd 115 lb/ft3 Ysat = 123 lb/ft³ Clay: Ysat = 119 lb/ft³, eo = 0.71, Cc = 0.33, and CR = 0.065 Estimate the primary consolidation settlement of the clay in inches, if a. The clay is normally consolidated (NC) b. The clay is overconsolidated and the preconsolidation pressure, o'p = 2,000 lb/ft² H? H? Ag ? Sand Clay GWT
2) Consider the soil profile shown below subjected to the uniformly distributed load, ??, on the ground surface. Given: ??=930lb/ft2,H1?=4.5ft,H2?=9ft, and H3?=16ft.
