Highly permeable sandstone Given the clay soil profile shown, answer the following questions. What the magnitude of consolidation settiement of the clay layer? Answer: 1.95 PT What is the time to 95% consolidation? Answer: 453 days
Engineering; Civil Engineering; Civil Engineering questions and answers; 3. For the soil profile and conditions shown in the figure below, estimate the magnitude of settlement of the structure due to complete consolidation of the clay layer for the following three conditions.
The soil profile at a site for a proposed office building consists of a layer of fine sand 10.6 m thick above a layer of soft, normally consolidated 2.2 m thick clay layer in the manner shown in Figure 3. Underlying the clay is a layer of stiff coarse sand.
For the soil profile shown below, the total settlement due to the lowering of the groundwater table was computed to be 4.6 inches. It has been several years after the groundwater table was lowered and consolidation is complete. Now the upper 30 ft of the soil profile is to be excavated to create underground parking for a mid-rise building.
To start solving this question, identify and list down the known values from the given soil profile including the unit weight of the soil, the depth to the point B, the cohesion value, and the angle of internal friction at point B.
R Horizon: (Last Layer, Bedrock) This is the last layer in the profile. It is made of unweathered rocks, the parent material. 30" Parent Material 48" R{Bedrock For the following soil profile images, label the appropriate horizons to the best of your ability. Remember that not all soil profiles contain every horizon.
