A site is underlain by a saturated clay layer with thickness = 5m. A sample extracted from the center of the clay layer was recently tested for consolidation parameters. The results indicate that the compression index is 0.33, the recompression index is 0.09, and the void ratio is 1.2. The results also indicate that the layer is normally consolidated. Calculate the preconsolidation stress of the clay. Express your answer in kPa. Note: this is a short problem; read the problem statement carefully. Use unit water weight = 10 kN/m3.
