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=1.5x10-6 12/minThe initial void ratio is 0.45. Please calculate the consolidation settlement. Assuming intact rock underneath clay, i.e., the rock underneath cannot provide drainage path. (Cs=Cw). How long does it take to finish 75% of consolidation? Ap = 1 ksf Sand 8 feet y = 110 pef, Water Table 7 feet Ysar = 115 pcf Clay w = 34%, LL = 50%, Ysar = 120 pef 17 feet
