Refer to Problem 11.9. How long will it take for 75% consolidation to be over in the field? Given: cv = 0.24 cm2/min.
In problem 9
Refer to Figure 11.44. Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the clay layer. Given: Δσ = 85 kN/m2; H1 = 2 m; H2 = 4 m; and H3 = 6 m. Soil characteristics are as follows:
€¢ Sand: e = 0.65; Gs = 2.66
€¢ Clay: LL = 54; e = 0.98; Gs = 2.74
