Question

A normally consolidated clay settled 10mm when effective stress was increased from 100kn/m^3 to 200kn/m^3.if the effective stress is futher incresed from 200kn/m^2 to 400kn/m^2 ,then the settlement of the same clay

Answer 1

A normally consolidated clay settled 10mm when effective stress was increased from 100kn/m^3 to 200kn/m^3.

If the effective stress is further increased from 200kn/m^2 to 400kn/m^2 ,then the settlement of the same clay is 10mm

Answer 2

Answer:

.

10 / x = Log base 10 ( 200/100) / Log base 10 (400/200)

x = 10 / 1

x = 10 mm = 1 cm
