Problem 1: A soil profile is shown in the figure. A uniformly distributed load of 4b kPa is applied
at the ground surface. Given: H₁ = 3.ba m; H₂ = 4.dc m; and H3 = 6.ab m. The details of the
soil layers are:
*Sand: yd = 17.ad kN/m³; Ysat = 18.bc kN/m³
*Clay: Ysat = 19.ca kN/m³; LL = 4d%; e = 0.5b; Cs = (1/5) Cc
Determine the settlement (in mm.) of the clay layer caused by primary consolidation
settlement if:
a.
The clay is normally consolidated.
b.
The preconsolidation pressure is 1lab kPa.
The preconsolidation pressure is 15d kPa.
