2.10

On top of the soft clay layer (i.e., at 10 m depth), initially: σ ′ = 1 × 17.0 + 9( 20 − 9.81) = 108.7 kN/m 2

After the water table is lowered, σ ′ = 3 × 17.0 + 7( 20 − 9.81) = 122.3 kN/m 2

By lowering the water table, the effective stress has increased by (122.3 – 108.7) = 13.6 kN/m2

2.11

The soil below the water table can be assumed to be fully saturated (i.e., S = 1).

e = wGs = 0.25 × 2.70 = 0.675 The saturated unit weight can be computed as

γsat =

(Gs + e)γw (2.70 + 0.675) × 9.81 = = 19.8 kN/m3 1+ e 1 + 0.675

At a depth of 5 m into the sandy clay, σ = 4 × 9.81 + 5 × 19.8 = 138.3 kN/m2 u = 9 × 9.81 = 88.3 kN/m2 σ ′ = σ − u = 138.3 − 88.3 = 50 kN/m2

2.12

Refer to the figure.

a. The compression index Cc is given by [Eq. (2.53)],

Cc =

2.13

a. The clay is below the water table and, hence, is saturated. The initial void ratio eo can be determined as eo = wG s = 0.225 × 2.72 = 0.612 The saturated unit weight is determined as

γsat =

(Gs + e)γw ( 2.72 + 0.612)(9.81) = 20.3 kN/m3 = 1+ e 1 + 0.612

The effective overburden stress at the middle of the clay is

σ o′ = 2 × 17.0 + 3( 20.2 − 9.81) + 1.5( 20.3 − 9.81) = 80.3 kN/m2 < 110.0 kN/m2 Since the preconsolidation pressure is greater than the current overburden pressure, the clay is overconsolidated. The overconsolidation ratio

OCR = 110.0 80.3 = 1.37 b. The 2-m-high compacted fill imposes a surcharge of 2 × 20 = 40 kN/m2 (i.e., ∆σ ′ = 40.0 kN/m2 , σo′ = 80.3 kN/m2 , and σ c′ = 110.0 kN/m2 ) Since σ o′ + ∆σ ′ > σ c′ , the consolidation settlement can be computed from Eq. (2.69) as Sp = =

For U = 75%, Tv = 0.477 (Table 2.12)

Tv =

cv t H dr2

From two-way (doubly drained) to one-way (singly drained), Hdr is doubled. For the same U and, hence, the same Tv, this would increase the time fourfold. Therefore, it will take 4t years. SOURCE: Browsegrades.net

When t = 2 years, Tv = 0.246. From Table 2.12, U = 55.8%. Consolidation settlement during the first two years is 0.558 × 404 = 225.4 mm b. The initial effective overburden stress at the middle of the clay is σo′ = 1.5 × 17.0 + 0.5(18.5 − 9.81) + 3.0(19.0 − 9.81) = 57.4 kN/m2
