Q4-B) A clay stratum 5 m thick has the initial void ration of 1.50 and an effective overburden pressure of 120 kN/m2. When the sample is subjected to an increase of pressure of 120 kN/m², the void ratio reduces to 1.44. Determine the coefficient of volume change, m, and the final settlement of the stratum.
