Question: The total vertical locations ( point A and B ) . Problem 4 ( 2 5 / 1 0 0 ) : Figure shows (

The total vertical locations (point A and B).
Problem 4(25/100):
Figure shows (next page) a soil profile. The uniformly distributed embankment load on the ground surface is q=10000lbft2. Footprint of the embankment is 2020 feet. Calculate settlement of the embankment if the consolidation test result on the clay soil is as shown in the figure. Use approximate method to calculate stress increased under the embankment. Also: note that the pressure unit in metric (kPa) on the consolidation curve and needs to be converted.
The total vertical locations ( point A and B ) .
