Topics. Consolidation, primary, Time "p" Grade U (%), T years, soil mechanics...help1. On the stratigraphy shown below, a large extension fill is
placed (it could be considered infinite extension), the fill material
has a specific weight of .
24kNm3 and height of 4 m .
a) Determine the settlement that the fill will cause due to the
consolidation of the clay layer.
b) Draw a diagram of the total load and pressure load with
respect to depth, for the primary consolidation time (tp). Draw
from the surface level to the depth of 6 m .
c) Draw a diagram of the pore water pressure with respect to time
for the center of the CL stratum. Indicate the extreme values of
the scheme, both in pressure and time.
Remember that current conditions show unidirectional flow and
that is the stability condition
