The average effective overburden pressure on a 10-m-thick clay layer in the field is 136 kN/m², and the average void ratio is 0.98. If a uniform surcharge of 200 kN/m² is applied on the ground surface, determine the consolidation settlement for the following cases, given C = 0.35 and C, = 0.08: (a) Preconsolidation pressure, o = 350 kN/m² (b) o= 200 kN/m?
