Question:

Assume the laboratory test results in Problem 8.12 are typical of another San Francisco Bay Mud site, but where the clay is slightly over-consolidated. The present vertical effective overburden stress is calculated to be about 15 kPa, and the thickness of the clay is 3.9 m. At this location, the granular fill (ρ = 1.8 Mg/m3) will be only about 1.2 m thick. Estimate the consolidation settlement due to the weight of the fill.?
