Please complete 7.38 but double the settlement estimatesand settlement time provided as well as with the Cv provided divided by 4. Thank you kindly!!!
7.38 The settlement analysis for a proposed structure indicates that the underlying clay layer will settle 8.2cm in 2.7yr, and that ultimately the total settlement will be about 35cm. However, this analysis is based on the clay layer being doubly drained. It is suspected that there may be no drainage at the bottom of the layer. Answer the following questions based on single drainage only, assuming cv=2.610-4cm2sec for both single and double drainage.
a. How will the total settlement change from the double to the single drainage case?
b. How long will it take for 8.2cm of settlement to occur if there is only single drainage?
Please complete 7 . 3 8 but double the settlement
