A 4-meter clay layer (e = 0.92, Gs = 2.89, Cc = 0.315) is overlain with 4-meter-thick sand layer (e = 0.86, G = 2.63). The water table is at the interface of the sand and clay layer. If a 3-meter-thick land fill (γ = 17.21 kN/m3) is placed over the existing ground surface, compute the consolidation settlement (in mm.) of the clay layer. Hint: Use the land fill's resulting pressure on the ground surface as the stress increase.

4. Calculate the total settlement of two clay layers? The two clay samples at Location A and Location B were collected and analyzed. Use information at Location A to estimate the settlement at the stiffy silty clay. Use information at Location B to estimate the settlement at the very stiff clay. Compression index C, at point A is 0.25, C, at point B is 0.2. Swelling index C, at point A is 0.08, C, at point B is 0.06. Initial void ratio eo at point A is 0.66, eo at point B is 0.45.
