Determine the primary consolidation settlement for the 20 m long pile group shown below. Soil properties by layer are given in the figure, and the clay layers are normally consolidated. Assume a 2:1 load spread starting at a depth of 2/3 of the embedment depth, L. The pile group is square and has dimensions 2.6 m by 2.6 m in plan view. The groundwater table is 1 m below the ground surface. = 4000 kN 1 m V W.T. 7 m Sandy soil Y1 =18.5 kN/m O'=330 L = 20 m --Group piles AxB= 2.6 mx 2.6 m 14 m Clay 1 Y=17.2 kN/m3 eq=0.83 C=0.23 8 m Clay 2 Yo =17,5 kN/m3 eg=0.78 C= 0.22.- 12 m Clay 3 Y1 =18.0 kN/m3 eg=0.76 C =0.20 Rock
