An oil tank, 20 m in diameter, is built over a site shown below. A specimen of clay in this site (20 mm thickness) double drained was to be tested in an oedometer apparatus, the time required to reach 60% degree of consolidation is 15 minutes. Estimate the differential settlement between the center and perimeter of the tank after 1 year after building the tank. 20 m Oil Tank = 9.4 KN/m Zo.W.I Y = 18 KN/m Kup.
