1.1 The average effective overburden pressure on a 10
mts – thick layer in the field is 136 kN/m2 and the average void
ratio is 0.98. If a uniform surcharge of 200 kN/m2 is applied on
the ground surface, determine the consolidation settlement for the
following cases, Cc = 0.35, Cs = 0.08.
a)Preconsolidation pressure, σ'p = 350 kN / m2 b)
b)Preconsolidation pressure, σ'p = 150 kN / m2
1.2 For case b) of the previous exercise determine, a) What is the void ratio at the end of 100% of consolidation. b) If Cv = 1.5 mm2 / min, how long will it take to settle the first 100 mm? Take the two-way drain for the clay layer.

A tank holds a 1.44-m thick layer of oil that floats on a 0.96-m
thick layer of brine. Both liquids are clear and do not intermix.
Point O is at the bottom of the tank, on a vertical axis.
The indices of refraction of the oil and the brine are 1.40 and
1.52, respectively. A ray originating at O crosses the
brine-oil interface at a point 0.5 m from the axis. The ray
continues and emerges into the air above...

A clay layer in field is 3-m thick and is sandwiched between two
sand layers (drained from top and bottom). The saturated stratum of
clay is under a surcharge loading and underwent 90% primary
consolidation in 75 days. The time required in minutes for a 30 mm
thick undisturbed clay sample obtained from the field to undergo
90% consolidation in laboratory is most nearly equal to

(a)
At a reclamation site, a 6-m thick sand layer overlies a 5.8-m
thick clay layer, which is underlain by impermeable rock stratum.
The water level is initially 2.5 m above the ground surface. The
saturated unit weights of sand and clay are 19 kN/m3 and 17 kN/m3,
respectively. A 5-m thick layer of fill will be placed on the
original ground surface, and the unit weights of fill are 19 kN/m3
and 20 kN/m3 above and below water table,...

A layer of cork 6 inch thick is used as layer of
thermal insulation in a flat wall. The temperature of the cold side
is 40 oF and that of the warm side is 180 oF. The thermal
conductivity of the cork at 32 oF is 0.021 Btu/ft-h-oF and that at
200 oF is 0.032. The area of the wall is 25 ft. Estimate the rate
of heat transfer through the wall. Answer: 182 Btu/hr

The soil profile at a site consists of a clay layer 10 m thick,
sandwich between two sand layers. The top sand layer has a density
of 1.9 Mg/m3 and is 5 m thick. Below this layer is a 10 m thick
clay layer with a saturated density of 1.8 Mg/m3 and a saturated
water content 42%. The deeper sand layer has a saturated density of
1.9 Mg/m3 and extend to the depth investigated at the site. The
water table...

A 20 m thick saturated clay layer is normally consolidated. At
mid-depth in this layer, the void ratio (e) is 1.110, the
coefficient of compressibility (av) is 5.74 x103 cm2=N.
Recall that w = 9.81 kN/m3. a) Assuming that a 122 cm lowering of
the ground water table (GWT) occurs in the soil overlying the clay
layer, what settlement will occur in the soil overlying the clay
layer because of the ultimate primary consolidation of the clay
layer? Express your...
