Compare the final settlement magnitude of the soil samples in the two scenarios explained below between time t1 and time t2. Note: The answer must include a short explanation of the reason too. 1) The soil sample is compacted and subjected to one-dimensional consolidation loading under 200 kPa. After completion of the consolidation stage, it is unloaded and consolidated to 10 kPa (time=ti). Afterwards, the axial stress on the soil is increased to 200 kPa (time=t2). 2) The soil sample is consolidated under 10 kPa (time=ti), 50 kPa, 100 kPa and finally 200 kPa (time=t2).
