Which one of the following combinations is correct?
A saturated compressible clay layer of thickness h is sandwiched between two sand layers, as shown in the figure. Initially, the total vertical stress and pore water pressure at point P, which is located at the mid-depth of the clay layer were 150 kPa and 25 kPa, respectively. Construction of a building caused an additional total vertical stress of 100 kPa at P. When the vertical effective stress at P is 175 kPa. The percentage of consolidation in the clay layr at P is _________. (in integer)
A concentrically loaded isolated square footing of size 2 m $$\times$$ 2 m carries a concentrated vertical load of 1000 kN. Considering Boussinesq's theory of stress distribution, the maximum depth (in m) of the pressure bulb corresponding to 10% of the vertical load intensity will be _________. (round off to two decimal all places)
A soil sample is underlying a water column of height h1, as shown in the figure. The vertical effective stresses at point A, B and C are $$\sigma {'_A}$$, $$\sigma {'_B}$$ and $$\sigma {'_C}$$ respectively. Let $$\gamma$$sat and $$\gamma$$' be the saturated and submerged unit weights of the soil sample, respectively and $$\gamma$$w be the unit weight of water. Which one of the following expressions correctly represents the sum ($$\sigma {'_A}$$ + $$\sigma {'_B}$$ + $$\sigma {'_C}$$) ?
