Task 2: Problem in Context (Consolidation Test)
(10% marks)
A 8 m thick clay layer is resting over a 2 m thick sand layer and is submerged. A fill of 3 m thick sand with unit weight of 20kNm3 is placed above the clay layer to accelerate the rate of consolidation of the clay layer. Coefficient of consolidation of clay is 910-2m2? year and coefficient of volume compressibility of clay is 2.210-4m2kN. Assume Taylor's relation between time factor and average degree of consolidation. How much will be the settlement (in mm, round off to two decimal places) of the clay layer, 96 years after the Construction of the fill?Please solve the full Question
