*An embankment is proposed to construct on 10m thick clay deposit having the coefficient of volume compressibility as 2.7 x 10^-4 m?/kN. Determine the settlement of clay by the increase in vertical stress of 60 kN/m? due to the construction of embankment.
An embankment consists of clay fill for which c′ = 25 kN/m2 and φ = 27° (from consolidated undrained tests with pore-pressure measurement). The average bulk unit-weight of the fill is 2 Mg/m3. Estimate the shear-strength in kPa of the material on a horizontal plane at a point 20 m below the surface of the embankment, if the pore pressure at this point is 180 kN/m2 as shown by a piezometer.
