Compute the settlement of the clay layer, in mm, caused by primary consolidation if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 230 kPa. Use Cs = Cc/5. Round off to the nearest whole number. b. Compute the settlement of the clay layer, in mm, caused by primary consolidation if the clay is normally consolidated. Round off to the nearest whole number. c. Compute the settlement of the clay layer, in mm, caused by primary consolidation if the preconsolidation pressure of clay is 200 kPa. Use Cs = Cc/5. Round off to the nearest whole number.
