A uniform loading of 150kPa is applied at a 28 m Χ 28 m area. Please calculate the consolidation settlement of the clay layer used the middle of the clay layer to estimate the stress increment with the influence factor method). Cc = 0.4, Cs = 0.04, preconsolidation stress is 150 kPa and unit weight of water is 10 kN/m3. What is the settlement at the corner and center of the loading? What is the differential settlement between the corner and the center?

A saturated clay layer (300cm in thickness) was sitting upon the rock, its unit weight was = 20kN/m3, an oedometer test also found that Cc = 0.2, Cr = 0.04. The existing vertical effective stressin the field is 200 kPa. Construction will increase the vertical stress at the centre of the clay by = 600 kPa.a) Calculate the primary consolidation settlement of clay layer if it has been subjected toa load at OCR = 2.b) Assume spatial variation of pore pressure u with time t and depth z is onedimensional,and governed by:where Cv is a given constant, specify its boundary and initial condition, and try toillustrate the pore pressure change with time along its depth.
