Can you solve with explanation pls. ty
A normally consolidated clay layer 4.38 m. thick has a void ratio of 1.06. Liquid limit is equal to 37 and the average effective stress on the clay layer was 79 kPa. The average stress on it is increased to 117 kPa. as result of the construction of a foundation. If the clay layer is preconsolidated, compute the consolidation settlement in millimeters if the preconsolidation pressure is 138 KPa. Use Cs = 1/6Cc.
