Problem Number 5:
For a normally consolidated clay layerin the field, the following values are given:
Thickness of clay layer= 4.4567 m
Void ratio (e.) = 0.7863
Compression Index (Cc) = 0.2876
Average Effective pressure on the clay layer (6'o) = 126.2347 Kpa
A6' = 49.8976 KN/m?
Secondary Compression Index (Ca) = 0.02116
What is the total consolidation settlement of the clay layer five years after the completion of primary consolidation? (
Note:Time for completion of primary settlement=1.75 years)
