At the site of a large scale land reclamation project 2 m of sand overlie a silty clay layer 5 m thick, which overlies highly fractured permeable rock. The project involved rapidly placing 5 m of fill over a large area that applied a stress of 100 kPa to the underlying soil. It was initially expected that after 2 years consolidation would be complete. However, after 2 years the excess pore pressures in the silty clay layer were still significant and had the values shown in the table below.

5 25
6 0
To speed up consolidation it is proposed to place additional fill, starting at t = 2 years, so that the stress on the clay increases at a rate of 10kPa/month for 6 months, at which time all the additional load will be removed.
a.Assuming that consolidation is occurring under 1-Dimensional conditions show that the pore pressures measured at 2 years are consistent with a cv of approximately 1.7 m2/yr.
b.Use a numerical method to estimate the excess pore pressure distribution in the clay layer between 2 years and 2.5 years from the start of the land reclamation, and hence determine the settlement at 2.5 years. Use ?t = 2 months, ?z = 1 m, and take mv = 0.0001 m2/kN.
