Question: A consolidation test on a soil sample at depth A produced the following: Cc = 0 . 4 Cr = 0 . 0 8 e

A consolidation test on a soil sample at
depth A produced the following:
Cc=0.4
Cr=0.08
e o =1.0
Pc=78.1 kPa
Cv=0.1 m/day
1. Calculate the settlement due to fill
placement
2. If Pc is found to be 150 kPa, what is
the settlement due to fill placement
3. For Q1, the settlement at 10 years
after fill placement? What is the
excess pore pressure at depth A?
4. For Q1, if the dense sand and gravel
layer is found to be impervious, then
the settlement at 10 years after fill
placement? What is the excess pore
pressure at depth A?
