In general, the total settlement of the foundation is the sum of primary consolidation settlement, secondary consolidation settlement and ___________________ settlement.

A foundation has a depth of 20 feet and a width of 4 feet. Based on the depth of embedment to width ratio, this foundation is categorized as a? 

Assuming Layer 3 in the cross-section shown below is normally consolidated clay, compute the approximate primary consolidation settlement given the following information: H1 = 5 feet H2 = 7 feet H3 = 4 feet  Cc = 0.3 e0 = 0.22 Effective stress at the top of the clay layer = 1,150 psf Effective stress at the mid-point of the clay layer = 1,240 psf Change in effective stress = 500 psf (Use the appropriate settlement equation)

A soil has the following grain size distribution. Determine its USCS Classification: Sieve Size        Percent Finer #4                         100 #10                       99.6 #20                      95.6 #40                      81.9 #60                      65.4 #100                   44.5 #200                    19.2

Given that the sandy soil has a friction angle of 32 degrees, according to Rankine’s theory, the Ka and Kp for the soil will be:      

Calculate the total passive force for a retaining structure supporting cohesionless soils with the following parameters: H =   15 feet γ =   120 pcf (Moist) Ф = 32 degrees C = 0 psf      

Upward seepage ____________ the effective stress, while downward seepage ____________ the effective stress, respectively. (Please note that the order of the blanks matters.)
