For the soil strata, draw diagrams indicating the total stress, pore pressure and effective stress profiles to the bottom of clay layer. Fine sand has a thickness of 6 m (FST) with saturated unit weight of 18 kN/m2. Clay has a thickness of 8 m with saturated unit weight of 14 kN/m3 The water table is located at depth of 0.7 of fine sand thickness below the ground surface (i.e. depth=0.7*FST). Fine sand will sustain capillarity (suction). Assume the same...

g=9.81m/s^2
When it say "preconsolidated under vertical effective stress of
130 kPa", this means that the preconsolidation pressure at the
centre of the clay layer is 130 kPa, NOT that 130 kPa was applied
as a surcharge at the surface.
In the following questions, you do not need to divide the clay layer into multiple layers to calculate the consolidation settlement. Asume the clay to be only one layer q 50 kN/m2 3.0 m dry WT Sand: Ysat 1k -17...
