2. The soil arrangement shown carries 1.68-meter square footing with a column load of 560 kN. Properties of sand: Above water table = 17.35 kN/m3, Below water table = 18.69 kN/m3. Properties of clay: 17.71 kN/m3, Cc = 0.382, void ratio = 0.66. Use H1 = 5 m., H2 = 4 m., H3 = 5 m., Df = 1 m. Determine the settlement of the normally consolidated clay in mm. Round off to three decimal places.
