St. Peter's College Sabayle St, Hligan City College of Engineering Civil Engineering Department Foundation Engineering ‘Activity | Soil Settlement Instructions: Solve the following problems, Write and show your solutions on a bond paper. Take a picture of your work and put it on MS Word, Save your file as PDF. Box your final answers. 1. Figure 1 shows a soil profile. The uniformly distributed load on the ground surface is Ao. Given: Ao = 1000 Ibvft?, Hi = 8 ft, Hi = 15 ff, and Hs = 17 ft. Also, for sand: yay = 110 Ib/R?, you 115 Ib/f? ; for clay: Yau 120 Ib/f*, LL = 50, ¢ = 0.9. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement if a. The clay is normally consolidated b. The preconsolidation pressure is 2500 Ib/ft? (C,= 1/6 Ce) 2. Refer to figure I. Given: Hy = 2,5 m, Hz = 2.5 m, Hs = 3 m, and Ao = 100 kN/m?, Also, for sand: ¢ = 0.64, G,= 2.65: for clay: e= 0.9, Gs = 2.75, LL = 55. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement of the clay layer assuming that it is normally consolidated. 3. Refer to figure 1. Given: Hi = 5 ft, Hz = 7 fl, Hs = 6 ff, and Ao = 3000 Ib/ft®. Also, for sand: = 0.58, 2.65; for clay: e= 1.1, G.= 2.72, LL = 45. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement if the preconsolidation pressure is 3500 Ib/ft. Assume C, = 1/5 C.. Dsus Bas 4. Anormally consolidated clay layer, 3 m thick, has the following properties Initial void ratio: 0.8 Compression index, C. = 0.25 Average effective pressure, dy = 125 kPa Expected pressure increase, Ao = 45 kPa Secondary compression index, C, = 0.02 Time for completion of primary settlement = 1.5 years ‘What is the total settlement of the clay layer five years after the completion of primary consolidation settlement?
