3. A foundation for a building is proposed for a site with a soil profile as shown in Figure 2. The specific gravity of the sand layer overlying the clay is 2.65, and the void ratio is 0.7. The sand layer above the groundwater table has a saturation degree of 50%. The void ratio of the clay is 0.9 and the saturated unit weight is 18.5 kN/m³. Laboratory tests on the saturated clay gave the following results: OCR = 1.5, Cr=0.08, Cc =0.3. Gravitational acceleration is g=9.81 m/s². (a) Calculate the settlement due to primary consolidation for the 10 m clay layer if the surcharge is 100 kPa.

The soil is acted upon by a uniformly distributed load P=60 kPa at the ground surface. Compute the settlement of the clay layer,in mm, caused by a primary consolidation if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 200 kPa, if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 230 kPa, and if the clay is normally consolidated. Use Cs=Cc/5. Round off to the nearest whole number.
