Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

A site is underlain by a saturated clay layer with thickness = 5m. A sample extracted from the center of the clay layer was recently tested for consolidation parameters. The results indicate that the compression index is 0.33, the recompression index is 0.09, and the void ratio is 1.2. The results also indicate that the layer is normally consolidated. Calculate the preconsolidation stress of the clay. Express your answer in kPa. Note: this is a short problem; read the problem statement carefully. Use unit water weight = 10 kN/m3.
