Estimate the ultimate consolidation settlement under the centerline of a 25 x 25 meter mat foundation. The mat is 1.5 meter thick reinforced concrete (ϒconcrete = 23.6 kN / m3), and the average stress on the surface of the slab is 125 kPa. The soil profile is shown in the figure below. Lab testing on samples of the clay showed that the clay is normally consolidated and that Cc = 0.40, Cr = 0.03, and eo = 1.13. Neglect any settlements due to the sand layer. Divide the clay layer into four thinner layers of thickness 2.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 3.0 meters.
