a)

An undisturbed sample of clay, 24mm in thickness, is tested in a consolidometer. The total change in the thickness of the specimen in 4.74mm when the applied pressure is 200 kN/m2 and 6.13 mm when the applied pressure is 400 kN/m2. On reducing the pressure to zero the specimen swells to a thickness of 18.50 mm. The final water content of the specimen is 32.6% and specific gravity is 2.72. The day statum, 1m thick, is sandwiched between pervious strata, and is subjected to an overburden pressure of 200 kN/m2. Estimate the probable settlement of a proposed structure, if due to its construction, the effective pressure. at the center of the clay layer is expected to be increased to 400 kN/m2
