A site is underlain by a 6m thick saturated clay layer over rock. The unit weight of the clay is 22 kN/m³, the void ratio is 0.96, and and the consolidation parameters obtained from testing a sample obtained from a depth of 2m are: coefficient of consolidation = 0.015 m²/day, compression index = 0.3, recompression index = 0.02. A 2.5m thick sandy fill with unit weight = 20 kN/m³ will be placed on the site. Determine Har (express it in meters but write only the numeric answer in the text box).
