Question:
Refer to Fig. 8.5a. Determine:
(a) Using log interpolation between 100 and 1000, determine the σv value at a vertical strain, εv = 20%.
(b) If the initial void ratio, eo = 2.6, determine Cr and Cc for this soil. For Cc use the portion of the curve between σv = 100 and 500 kPa.
(c) If the original clay layer thickness is 9.5 m, determine the settlement that occurs in the layer when it is loaded from 200 to 400 kPa. [You don't need the results from part (b) to do this]
