Primary Consolidation Settlement Calculations: Owing to the placement of the proposed fill at the proposed project site,

Post by answerhappygod »

Primary Consolidation Settlement Calculations: Owing to the
placement of the proposed fill at the proposed project site,
calculate the following at Points A, B, C, and D (Refer to Figure 2
in the Appendix):
• Stress due to the fill (should be the same for all 4
points)
• Initial vertical effective stress
• Final vertical effective stress
• Soil Classification: NC, OC Case 1, or OC Case 2
• Ultimate consolidation settlement, in feet, using the appropriate
formula
Then sum up to compute the total primary consolidation settlement.
Present all calculations in an Excel table Show all
calculations.
Thank you
