- A 10 M By 20 M Mudmat Foundation Will Be Placed On The Seabed The Submerged Unit Weight Of The Seafloor Soil Is 6 5 Kn 1 (85.65 KiB) Viewed 26 times
A 10-m by 20-m mudmat foundation will be placed on the seabed. The submerged unit weight of the seafloor soil is 6.5 kN/m². The upper 5m of the deposit has a uniform pre- consolidation stress o'p = 32.5 kPa. Below 5 m, the soil is normally consolidated. The compression and swell indices are Cc=0.5 and Cs=0.05. The initial void ratio of the soil is eo = 1.49. Compute the consolidation settlement at the center of the mudmat. Total Load P= 850 kN op=32.5 kPa 5 m 0'=6.6z (kPa)
