1. (30 pts) The soil profile shown below consists of 10 meters of sandy silt overlying gravel. The pore water pressure at the top surface of the silty sand is zero and can be assumed to remain zero. a) Calculate the level to which water would rise in a piezometer tube inserted into the top of the gravel if the silty sand is just stable? Use submerged unit weights and seepage forces to arrive at your answer (do not calculate total stresses and pore water pressures). Express your answer as an elevation, e.g. "Elev. 130". (Note: Elevations are in meters) (10 pts) b) Using the piezometric elevation calculated in part (a), calculate the pore water pressure at the bottom of the silty sand if the silty sand is just stable (10 pts). c) Calculate the total stress at the base of the silty sand and show that it is equal to the pore water pressure calculated in part (b) (10 pts) Elev. 120 m.

A 3 meter thick fill was placed over a 9 meter thick compressible clay. Underlying the clay layer is a very hard impermeable clay. The groundwater table is located on top of the compressible clay. A circular tank 9 meters in diameter transfers a surface contact stress of 45 kPa. Assume for this problem that the settlement of the fill and the very hard clay is small compared to the settlement of the compressible clay. a) Calculate the initial void ratio and saturated density of the compressible clay. b) Divide the compressible layer into two sublayers of equal thickness. The preconsolidation pressure is 100 kPa for the upper sublayer and 160 kPa for the lower sublayer. Calculate the following at the center of each sublayer: the increase in vertical stress caused by the tank underneath its center, and the consolidation setttlement due to the combined effect of the tank and weight of fill. c) How long will it take for 0.18 meters of settlement to occur? d) After 3.6 years, what…
