You are hired as a consultant for a project to construct an offshore resort. The resort will be built on an artificial fill (γt = 20kN/m3) of high permeability, which will cover a much larger area compared to the plan area of the resort.
To determine: Your job is to determine:
(i) Overall mass geometry of the resort (i.e., plan and elevation including Height of resort, Hresort)
- It does not need to be a boring rectangular prism shape building. You can use your imagination as much as you can to design a unique shape (to make it as a landmark, e.g., FIU SIPA Building).
(ii) Height of fill, Hfill
Goal: The goal is to make the center of resort (at the ground level) to be 1m above the water level at the end of primary (EOP) consolidation.
Constraints: The following constraints are applied:
(i) Each story is 3 meters high. The vertical surcharge by each story is 100 kPa, e.g., stress applied by a 3-story height of the building is 300 kPa.
(ii) The plan area at the ground level you designed should be between 500 m2 and 1000 m2.
(iii) Use Boussinesq solution to compute the stress increase by building the resort. You can use the charts provided in the lecture slides and/or the theoretical equation, i.e., you can use the Boussinesq solution for the vertical point load and then analytically or numerically integrate over the designed plan area to estimate the stress increase.
