A soil profile is shown in Figure 1. Determine the total consolidation settlement of the clay layer 7 years after the completion of primary consolidation settlement. (Take necessary data from Figure 2 and Figure 3. (Note: Time for completion of primary settlement is 2.5 years) Also, determine the time to complete 60% consolidation of this type of soil; if the coefficient of consolidation is 0.053 m²/yr. Ag= Last two digits of Roll/Registration No. (kN/m²) 6 ft Ya= 15.1 kN/m³ Ya= 14.2 kN/m O = 12% Degree of Saturation, S = 75% G, = 2.68 8 ft 13 ft Ysat= 19.7 kN/m³ Sand Clay Figure 1: Soil Profile
