An 8.5 m deep compacted fill is to be placed over the soil profile shown in Figure 11.20. Consolidation tests on samples from points A and B produced the following results:
Sample A | Sample B | |
C_{c} | 0.25 | 0.20 |
C_{r} | 0.08 | 0.06 |
e_{0} | 0.66 | 0.45 |
\sigma ^{\prime }_{c} | 101 kPa | 510 kPa |
Compute the ultimate consolidation settlement due to the weight of this fill.
