The soil is acted upon by a uniformly distributed load P=60 kPa at the ground surface. Compute the settlement of the clay layer,in mm, caused by a primary consolidation if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 200 kPa, if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 230 kPa, and if the clay is normally consolidated. Use Cs=Cc/5. Round off to the nearest whole number.
