6 m thick silty sand filling was laid on a 12 m thick compressible clay layer with controlled compression technique. Under this clay layer, there is a 4 m thick pebbly sand layer. Assuming that the settlement of the embankment and gravel-sand layer is insignificant compared to the settlement of the clay layer, calculate the consolidation settlement of the clay layer and when 50% of this settlement will occur. NOTE: You can make the settlement calculation as a single layer calculation.
