The vertical total stress in an element of soil at a depth of 5m within a clay embankment has been estimated to be 139 kPa. The porewater table has been found to be 1.1 m above the element. Estimate the horizontal shear strength in kPa in the element (take the effective cohesion to be 15.2 kPa, the effective friction angle to be 30.3o and the unit weight of water to be 10 kN/m3).(give your answer to 1 d.p.)

The new embankment to be built on top of the landfill is to range in height from a low of 3 mto as much as 7.5 m. In the area where the embankment height is the greatest, the predictionof settlement for the typical existing conditions ranges from 43 to 74 mm. Secondarysettlement is estimated at 200 mm. Standard penetration tests SPT values ranging from about5 to 25 with an average of 13. Improvement in SPT value of at least 30-40 will be desirable.Because of the possibility that there could be voids and loose pockets within the landfill,dynamic compaction is selected to reduce the anticipated differential settlement.Plan a dynamic compaction procedure for this site.
