Question: ql = 5 0 0 pounds per square foot, q 2 = 3 0 0 pounds per square foot, DI = 1 0 feet, D

ql =500 pounds per square foot, q2=300 pounds per square foot, DI=10 feet, D2=20 feet. All dimensions are infeet. Groundwater table is at the top of layer II.1. Calculate the total primary consolidation settlement under the following points: D, E (10 points each).2. Calculate the total primary consolidation settlement under point D after 1 year (10 points).
Cc=0.3
Cs=0.1
Cv (in2/sec)=0.0005
eo=1.0
gamma (pcf) in layer 1(sand)=120; in layer 2(normally-consolidated clay)=100; in layer 3(sand)=140
gamma sat (pcf) in layer 1(sand)=150; in layer 2(normally-consolidated clay)=130; in layer 3(sand)=160
ql = 5 0 0 pounds per square foot, q 2 = 3 0 0
