A 5m wide and 10m long rectangular foundation is built on a site where the soil profile consists of 3m of gravel and 4m of clay overlying rigid impermeable rock as shown in Figure 8. The foundation carries a surcharge loading of q=65 kN/m2 Initially the water table is 1 m below the surface of the gravel. The water table rises to the surface of the gravel slowly over a period of time and the surface loading induces an increase...
Two undisturbed clay samples were taken from the middle of the
overconsolidated and normally consolidated clay layers in the soil
profile shown. The water table is at the top of the
overconsolidated clay layer. Consolidation tests were carried out
on the two samples and the results are summarized in the table
below. Assume that the bulk, dry, and saturated unit weights of the
sand are 16 kN/m3, 16 kN/m3 and 19
kN/m3, respectively. The specific gravity of the clay

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...

For the soil profile shown below, calculate the final settlement due to the placement of the sand fill. Estimate the excess pore pressure at a depth of 1.5 m into the third clay layer 1.5 years after the fill is placed. Assume the coefficient of consolidation is Cv = 1.8 m2/yr.
