The settlement analysis for a proposed structure indicates that the underlying clay layer will settle 7.5 cm in 3 years, and that ultimately the total settlement will be about 32 cm. however, this analysis is based on the clay layer being doubly drained. it is suspected that there may be no drainage at the bottom of the layer.

answer the following questions based on single drainage only, assuming cv = 1.5 x 10-4 cm 2 /s for both single and double drainage.

(a) how will the total settlement change from the double to the single drainage case?

(b) how long will it take for 7.5 cm of settlement to occur if there is only single

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
