A soil profile is shown in the following figure. A new footing will be placed on the ground and the average vertical stress increment at the midpoint of the clay layer due to the new footing will be Ao, = 25.5 kPa. Estimate the final primary consolidation settlement of the clay layer. Assume that the clay is normally consolidated. New footing 2.8 m Ydry 18.0 kN/m³ W.T. 4.2 m Ywet = 18.6 kN/m³ 3.0 m = Ywet 18.2 kN/m³, e₁= 0.82 LL = 44, PL = 20 Sand Sand Clay Sand
