The saturated unit weight for both soils =19 kN/m3=19 kN/m3. A 4 m depth of fill, unit weight =21 kN/m3=21 kN/m3, is placed on the sand over an extensive area. Determine the final settlement due to consolidation of the clay. If the fill were to be removed some time after the completion of consolidation, what heave would eventually take place due to swelling of the clay?

A layer of this clay 2.5 m thick lies below a 10 m depth of sand, the water table being at the surface. The saturated weight for both soils is 19 kN/m³. A 10-m depth of fill of unit weight of 21 kN/m³ is placed on the sand over an extensive area. If the fill was to be removed some time after the completion of consolidation, what heave (mm) would eventually take place due to swelling of the clay? (0 d.p). Use unit weight of water of 9.8 kN/m3. Use log base 10.
