In a stage of an oedometer test the total stress was raised by 100 kPa. The sample was initially 25-mm thick and it was drained from both ends. The properties of the soil were Cv = 2 mm2/min and mv = 5×10-4 m2/kN. Determine the following:

a) The final settlement after consolidation is complete.

b) The time when the settlement is 0.4 mm.

c) The settlement after 50 min.

Consider a clay layer that is 1 m thick. The clay has a compression index of 0.35, a swell index of 0.07, a permeability of 4 x 10-7 cm/sec, a preconsolidation pressure of 172 kPa and a coefficient of consolidation of 2.7 x 10-4 cm2/min. The initial effective stress at the midpoint of the layer is 140 kPa, and the soil has a void ratio of 1.01. The stress is increased to 200 kPa. The soil is drained above and...

A 70 m diameter tank will be filled with 9 m of water. The site consists of 20 m of sand overlying 20 m of clay, overlying another layer of sand. The water table is located at a depth of 10 m. The unit weights of the sand layers are 18 kN/m3 and the unit weight of the clay is 16 kN/m3. Other clay properties are given in Table 1. Please divide the clay layer into 4 or more sublayers...

Using the data in Textbook Problem 8.8: a. Plot the vertical effective consolidation stress versus void ratio on both arithmetic and semi-log graphs. For the arithmetic graph, constrain the vertical axes to 0.55 and 0.95; and the horizontal to 0 to 1,500 kPa; for the semi-log graph, use the same vertical axis constraints, but use 10 kPa and 10,000 kPa to ease interpretation. Plot the data points only, and draw in a smooth curve by hand. Plot each graph on...
