It is desired to calculate the consolidation settlement of the 6m thick layer shown in the below figure that will result from the load caried by the footing measuring 3mx3m in plan (bottom of footing is 2m below the surface). Assume the clay to be normally consolidated. Compute the following: a. Immediate Settlement, ?? b. Primary Consolidation Settlemen, ?? c. Secondary Consolidation Settlement, ?? d. Total Consolidation Settlement, ?? of the clay 5 years after the completion of the primary settlement. The time for the completion of the primary settlement is 3 years.
