A normally consolidated clay layer 3.24 m. thick has a void ratio of 1.09. Liquid limit is equal to 35 and the average effective stress on the clay layer was 82 kPa. The average stress on it is increased to 115 kPa. as result of the construction of a foundation. Compute the consolidation settlement in millimeters that the clay undergo.
