Question
Estimate the primary consolidation settlement in the claylayer.

Given: Δσ = 100 kN/m2; H1 = 4.0 m; H2 =5.5 m; and H3 = 9.5m. Soil characteristics are as

Sand, e = 0.60; Gs = 2.55

Clay,  LL = 60;  e = 0.85;   Gs = 2.65;   σ'c = 200 kN/m2, Cs = 0.2 Cc

Is there any difference if σ'c = zero
