Figure 2 shows the construction of an embankment on soft soil.The groundwater table (GWT) is one metre under the groundsurface.
a. Using the Osterberg influence value indicated in Figure2, estimate the stress increase at points A, B, and C and predictthe initial settlement (Si) and primary consolidation settlement(Sp) due to embankment load.
