A large oil storage tank 90 meters in diameter is to be constructed on the soil profile shown in the figure below. The average depth of the oil in the tank is 18 meters, and the specific gravity of the oil is 0.92. Consolidation test showed that the clay is normally consolidated with Ccε = 0.154, Crε = 0.0112, and σ'p = 260 kPa. Estimate the total consolidation settlement of the tank. Neglect any settlements in the sand (ρd,sand = 1.71 Mg / m3). Perform this estimation by: a. Assuming conditions at the mid-depth of the clay are typical of the entire clay layer. b. Dividing the clay layer into four thinner layers with a thickness of 5 meters each, computing the settlement of each thin layer, and summing up using the included equation for sc. Assume that σ'p = σ'vo when σ'vo > σ'p. Hint: the load applied by the tank is given by qo = ϒoilhoil
