Question: An 9 ft thick soil layer has the following properties: Initial effective stress at the midpoint = 2 0 0 0 psf Initial void ratio,
An ft thick soil layer has the following properties:
Initial effective stress at the midpoint psf
Initial void ratio,
Compression index,
Recompression index,
Preconsolidation stress psf
A foundation will be built above this layer and will cause a change in vertical stress of psf at the midpoint of the layer.
What is the amount of settlement in inches expected due to the consolidation of this soil layer caused by the foundation? Round your answer to the nearest inch.
