A clay stratum 5m thick has the initial voids ratio of 1.50 and the effective overburden pressure of 120 kN/m2. When the sample is subjected to an increase of pressure of 120 kN/m2, the voids ratio reduces to 1.44. Determine the co-efficient of volume compressibility (mv) and the final settlement (ρf) of the stratum.
