Question
Download Solution PDFThe clay deposit of thickness 10 cm and void ratio 0.5 undergoes settlement and now its final void ratio is 0.2. The thickness (cm) of the settlement layer is __________.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Computation of settlement when change in void ratio is given:
Therefore, \(\frac{{Δ H}}{{{H_o}}} = \frac{{Δ e}}{{1 + {e_o}}}\)
Where
Ho = thickness of clay deposit
ΔH = settlement layer thickness
Δe = e1 - eo
eo = initial void ratio
e1 = final void ratio
Calculation:
Given,
H1 = 10 cm
eo = 0.5
e2 = 0.2
\(\frac{{Δ H}}{{{H_o}}} = \frac{{Δ e}}{{1 + {e_o}}}\)
\(\Delta H = \frac{{\Delta e}}{{1 + {e_o}}} \times {H_o} = \frac{{(0.5 - 0.2)}}{{1 + 0.5}} \times 10 = 2cm\)
