Question
Answer in three decimal places please
A normally consolidated clay layer 3.12 m.
thick has a void ratio of 1.14. Liquid limit is
equal to 36 and the average effective stress
on the clay layer was 79 kPa. The average
stress on it is increased to 118 kPa. as result
of the construction of a foundation. If the
clay layer is preconsolidated, compute the
consolidation settlement in millimeters if the
preconsolidation pressure is 133 KPa. Use Cs
= 1/6Cc.
