engineering recuitment GATE CE 2023-24 Test Series Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Consolidation
The load from the strip foundation as shown below is assumed to be distributed over the soil stratum at 2V:1H, the value of mv varies with depth of clay stratum as
mv = (64 + z3) × 10-5 m2/kN
Where z is the distance from the top of the clay layer.
Assuming one-dimensional consolidation, what is the consolidation (in mm) of the clay stratum?
Enter numerical value using the virtual keypad. Round off where necessary.
