To estimate the total settlement caused by the fill, we need to calculate the settlement in both the clayey silt layer and the medium dense sand layer.

  • Given Data:
    • Thickness of clayey silt (Hclayey siltH_{clayey \, silt}) = 5 m5 \, \text{m}
    • Stiffness of clayey silt (Es,clayey siltE_{s,clayey \, silt}) = 3 MN/m2=3000 kN/m23 \, \text{MN/m}^2 = 3000 \, \text{kN/m}^2
    • Thickness of medium dense sand (HsandH_{sand}) = 6 m6 \, \text{m}
    • Stiffness of medium dense sand (Es,sandE_{s,sand}) = 8 MN/m2=8000 kN/m28 \, \text{MN/m}^2 = 8000 \, \text{kN/m}^2
    • Thickness of soil fill (HfillH_{fill}) = 4.0 m4.0 \, \text{m}
    • Unit weight of fill (γfill\gamma_{fill}) = 24 kN/m324 \, \text{kN/m}^3
  1. Calculate the stress increase (Δσ\Delta \sigma) due to the fill.

    The stress increase is the pressure exerted by the weight of the fill.

    Δσ=γfill×Hfill\Delta \sigma = \gamma_{fill} \times H_{fill} Δσ=24 kN/m3×4.0 m\Delta \sigma = 24 \, \text{kN/m}^3 \times 4.0 \, \text{m} Δσ=96 kN/m2=96 kPa\Delta \sigma = 96 \, \text{kN/m}^2 = 96 \, \text{kPa}
  2. Calculate the settlement in the clayey silt layer (ΔSclayey silt\Delta S_{clayey \, silt}).

    We use the elastic settlement formula: ΔS=Δσ⋅HEs\Delta S = \frac{\Delta \sigma \cdot H}{E_s}.

    ΔSclayey silt=Δσ×Hclayey siltEs,clayey silt\Delta S_{clayey \, silt} = \frac{\Delta \sigma \times H_{clayey \, silt}}{E_{s,clayey \, silt}} ΔSclayey silt=96 kN/m2×5 m3000 kN/m2\Delta S_{clayey \, silt} = \frac{96 \, \text{kN/m}^2 \times 5 \, \text{m}}{3000 \, \text{kN/m}^2} ΔSclayey silt=4803000 m\Delta S_{clayey \, silt} = \frac{480}{3000} \, \text{m} ΔSclayey silt=0.16 m=160 mm\Delta S_{clayey \, silt} = 0.16 \, \text{m} = 160 \, \text{mm}
  3. Calculate the settlement in the medium dense sand layer (ΔSsand\Delta S_{sand}).

    ΔSsand=Δσ×HsandEs,sand\Delta S_{sand} = \frac{\Delta \sigma \times H_{sand}}{E_{s,sand}} ΔSsand=96 kN/m2×6 m8000 kN/m2\Delta S_{sand} = \frac{96 \, \text{kN/m}^2 \times 6 \, \text{m}}{8000 \, \text{kN/m}^2} ΔSsand=5768000 m\Delta S_{sand} = \frac{576}{8000} \, \text{m} ΔSsand=0.072 m=72 mm\Delta S_{sand} = 0.072 \, \text{m} = 72 \, \text{mm}
  4. Calculate the total settlement (ΔStotal\Delta S_{total}).

    The total settlement is the sum of the settlements in each layer.

    ΔStotal=ΔSclayey silt+ΔSsand\Delta S_{total} = \Delta S_{clayey \, silt} + \Delta S_{sand} ΔStotal=0.16 m+0.072 m\Delta S_{total} = 0.16 \, \text{m} + 0.072 \, \text{m} ΔStotal=0.232 m\Delta S_{total} = 0.232 \, \text{m} ΔStotal=232 mm\Delta S_{total} = 232 \, \text{mm}

    The total settlement caused by the fill is: 232 mm\boxed{\text{232 mm}}


Part 02

163.33 kN/m\text{163.33 kN/m}

  • Given Data:
    • Wall height (HH) = 5 m5 \, \text{m}
    • Surcharge (qq) = 48 kPa48 \, \text{kPa}
    • Angle of internal friction (ϕ′\phi') = 30∘30^\circ
    • Cohesion (c′c') = 0
    • Unit weight of soil (γ\gamma) = 20 kN/m320 \, \text{kN/m}^3
    • Water table is well below the base of the wall.
  1. Calculate the coefficient of active earth pressure (KaK_a).

    For cohesionless soil (c′=0c'=0) and a smooth vertical wall, we use Rankine's formula:

    Ka=tan⁡2(45∘−ϕ′2)K_a = \tan^2 \left( 45^\circ - \frac{\phi'}{2} \right) Ka=tan⁡2(45∘−30∘2)K_a = \tan^2 \left( 45^\circ - \frac{30^\circ}{2} \right) Ka=tan⁡2(45∘−15∘)K_a = \tan^2 (45^\circ - 15^\circ) Ka=tan⁡2(30∘)K_a = \tan^2 (30^\circ) Ka=(13)2K_a = \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \right)^2 Ka=13≈0.333K_a = \frac{1}{3} \approx 0.333
  2. Calculate the active thrust due to surcharge and soil weight.

    The active thrust can be divided into two parts: from the surcharge and from the soil weight.

    • Thrust from surcharge (PqP_q): Surcharge pressure (pqp_q) = Ka×qK_a \times q

      pq=13×48 kPa=16 kPap_q = \frac{1}{3} \times 48 \, \text{kPa} = 16 \, \text{kPa}

      Thrust from surcharge (PqP_q) = pq×Hp_q \times H

      Pq=16 kPa×5 m=80 kN/mP_q = 16 \, \text{kPa} \times 5 \, \text{m} = 80 \, \text{kN/m}

      This force acts at the mid-height of the wall, i.e., H/2H/2 from the base. Distance from base (yqy_q) = 5 m2=2.5 m\frac{5 \, \text{m}}{2} = 2.5 \, \text{m}

    • Thrust from soil weight (PγP_\gamma): Soil pressure at the base (pγp_\gamma) = Ka×γ×HK_a \times \gamma \times H

      pγ=13×20 kN/m3×5 m=1003 kPa≈33.33 kPap_\gamma = \frac{1}{3} \times 20 \, \text{kN/m}^3 \times 5 \, \text{m} = \frac{100}{3} \, \text{kPa} \approx 33.33 \, \text{kPa}

      Thrust from soil (PγP_\gamma) = 12×pγ×H\frac{1}{2} \times p_\gamma \times H (since the pressure distribution is triangular)

      Pγ=12×1003 kPa×5 m=2503 kN/m≈83.33 kN/mP_\gamma = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{100}{3} \, \text{kPa} \times 5 \, \text{m} = \frac{250}{3} \, \text{kN/m} \approx 83.33 \, \text{kN/m}

      This force acts at one-third of the wall height from the base, i.e., H/3H/3 from the base. Distance from base (yγy_\gamma) = 5 m3≈1.667 m\frac{5 \, \text{m}}{3} \approx 1.667 \, \text{m}

  3. Calculate the resultant thrust (PAP_A).

    The resultant thrust is the sum of the forces from the surcharge and the soil weight.

    PA=Pq+PγP_A = P_q + P_\gamma PA=80 kN/m+2503 kN/mP_A = 80 \, \text{kN/m} + \frac{250}{3} \, \text{kN/m} PA=2403 kN/m+2503 kN/mP_A = \frac{240}{3} \, \text{kN/m} + \frac{250}{3} \, \text{kN/m} PA=4903 kN/mP_A = \frac{490}{3} \, \text{kN/m} PA≈163.33 kN/mP_A \approx 163.33 \, \text{kN/m}
  4. Determine the position of the resultant thrust from the base of the wall.

    The position of the resultant thrust (yy) is found by taking moments about the base of the wall.

    y=(Pq×yq)+(Pγ×yγ)PAy = \frac{(P_q \times y_q) + (P_\gamma \times y_\gamma)}{P_A} y=(80 kN/m×2.5 m)+(2503 kN/m×53 m)4903 kN/my = \frac{\left( 80 \, \text{kN/m} \times 2.5 \, \text{m} \right) + \left( \frac{250}{3} \, \text{kN/m} \times \frac{5}{3} \, \text{m} \right)}{\frac{490}{3} \, \text{kN/m}} y=200 kN+12509 kN4903 kN/my = \frac{200 \, \text{kN} + \frac{1250}{9} \, \text{kN}}{\frac{490}{3} \, \text{kN/m}} y=1800+125094903 my = \frac{\frac{1800 + 1250}{9}}{\frac{490}{3}} \, \text{m} y=305094903 my = \frac{\frac{3050}{9}}{\frac{490}{3}} \, \text{m} y=30509×3490 my = \frac{3050}{9} \times \frac{3}{490} \, \text{m} y=30503×490 my = \frac{3050}{3 \times 490} \, \text{m} y=305147 my = \frac{305}{147} \, \text{m} y≈2.075 my \approx 2.075 \, \text{m}

    The resultant thrust is: 163.33 kN/m\boxed{\text{163.33 kN/m}}
    The position of the resultant thrust from the base of the wall is: 2.075 m\boxed{\text{2.075 m}}
