Question of Soil Machanics. Thanks.
Q4 In an oedometer test, the diameter of the clay sample was 70 mm and its original thickness was 19 mm. A normal pressure was applied to the sample and the reduction in thickness was 4 mm after 24 hours. The mass of the soil before and after the compression was measured to be 138.9 g and 123.5 g, respectively, and the dry mass of the soil was found to be 99.5 g. Assuming the...

Plagiarism will be penalised severely. 1. (10 marks): This tutorial continues Tutorial No. 4. The soil profile for proposed roadway construction is represented in Figure 1. A soil sample was recovered at A, and was tested in an oedometer device. The test results are provided in Table 1. The void ratio of the...
The ground profile of a construction site consists of a 3 m thick layer of sand followed by a 2 m thick layer of clay lying on impervious bedrock. The watertable is at a depth of 2 m below the ground surface. The sand has a dry unit weight of 16 kN/m and a saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m3. The capillary rise in sand is 0.5 m. The clay has a bulk unit weight of 19 kN/m 1. One...
