Slightly overconsolidated clay is located 15 ft below the surface (OCR=1.3). The Cc and Cs of the clay are 0.25 and 0.05, respectively, and Cv=1.5x10-12/min The initial void ratio is 0.45. Please calculate the consolidation settlement. Assuming intact rock underneath clay, ie, the rock underneath cannot provide drainage path. (Cs=Cw). How long does it take to finish 75% of consolidation? 4p = 1 ksf Sand 8 feet y = 110 pcf. Water Table 7 feet Ysar - 115 per Clay w = 34%, LL = 50%. Yser = 120 pef 17 feet
