5. A 3-m-thick wide granular fill (y = 20 kN/m³) is to be placed on a site with a soil profile consisting of a 5.5 m clayey silt layer (y = 17.8 kN/m³, e, = 1.25, C, = 0.5, o,/ơ,, = 5.2 C,IC, = 0.15) over 11.5 m of silty clay (y = 17.1 kN/m³, eo = 1.48, C. = 1.66, ở,lơ, = 1.4, C,ICc = 0.10, and Ca/C, = 0.037) over granular till. The water table is at the ground surface. Compute the settlement resulting from: (a) primary consolidation of the clayey silt and (b) compression of the silty clay after 100 years assuming that primary consolida- tion is completed in 30 years. %3D %3D %3D 1.4, C,/C %3D %3D %3D
