    Uploaded by

    Homer Batalao
    The document summarizes questions from a civil engineering licensure exam on soil mechanics and settlement. It includes 5 multiple choice questions regarding: 1) calculating consolidation settlement of a clay layer overlain by sand and landfill, 2) determining percent compaction of a soil sample, 3) calculating buoyant unit weight of clay, 4) determining effective vertical stress in clay, and 5) calculating average settlement of a normally consolidated clay layer.

    MULTIPLE CHOICE
    1.

    A 2 m clay layer (e = 0.92, Gs = 2.72, Cc = 1/3) is overlain with 3 m thick of sand layer (e
    = 0.5, Gs = 2.62, = 0). The water table is 1.5 m below the ground (sand) surface. If a 3
    m thick landfill ( = 17.3 kN/m3) is placed over the existing ground surface, which of the
    following most nearly gives the consolidation settlement of the clay layer? (M99 H 16)

    2.

    A soil sample in its natural state has a wet density of 155.1 pcf and a moisture content of
    36%. After compaction, its maximum dry density is 118.5 pcf. Determine the percent
    compaction of the soil. Gs = 2.65. (M01 H 9)

    Situation:

    A borehole log profile in a construction project is shown in the figure. The


    proposed construction will impart a net stress of 12 N/cm2. Use unit weight of
    water equal to 9.81 kN/m3.
