Question: C c = 0 . 1 4 ; C r = 0 . 0 6 ; p ' = 2 0 0 0 p s

Cc=0.14;Cr=0.06;p'=2000psf.
Calculate the consolidation settlement expected because of dewatering.
Fig. P2
3. For the profile shown in Figure P2, a 2ft fill (unite weight =120pcf) will be placed on soil surface. If the water table stays at 5ft below the surface (no dewatering), what is the consolidation settlement produced by the 2ft fill.
