Question
- A normally consolidated clay layer, 3 m thick, has the following properties :
Initial void ratio, e0= 0.8
Compression index, Cc = 0.25
Average effective pressure, σ’0 = 125 Kpa
Expected pressure increase, Δσ’ = 45 Kpa
Secondary compression index, Ca = 0.02
Time of completion of primary settlement = 1.5 years
What is the total settlement of the clay layer five years after the completion of the primary settlement?
