The figure presents stratified soil sample in a tube that is 325 mm × 325 mm in cross-sectional area. Water is applied to create a constant head difference of 450 mm across the sample. Solve for the seepage velocity through the soil C in m/sec
Problem 5. (HKS Problem 7.16) For the cases in the figure below, determine the pressure, elevation and total head at the entering end of the soil, exit end of the soil, and point A of the soil sample. T 4m Case I 1 m T
Sand cone equipment is used to perform a field density on compacted earth fill. Sand is used in the cone and is known to have a bulk density of 15 kN/m3. The wet weight of soil sample from the test hole is 20.601 N. The dry weight of soil sample is 17.926 N. The weight of the sand in the sand cone to fill the test hole is 16.053 N. Determine the in-place dry density in kN/m3 of the tested soil.
(e) A soil profile consists of a clay layer between layers of sand, the water table being in theupper sand layer. Before the construction of a raft foundation for a large reservoir, piezometers were placed in the saturated clay layer. The whole process of filling the reservoir may be approximated to applying rapidly a single pressure increment of 200 kPa uniformly throughout the clay layer. One year after filling the reservoir, the piezometers indicated a distribution of excess porewater pressure as indicated in Figure Q-e. Estimate the average degree of consolidation at this time.
