The soil profile was consist of two layer of soil. Above the clay is a 9 m thick layer of sand with a dry unit weight of 16 kN/cu. Meter and a saturated unit weight of 18.5 kN/cu. Meter. The clay layer has a thick of 6 m with a saturated unit weight of 19 kN/cu. meter.The location of water table is 3m from the ground level. The building to be constructed will cause an additional pressure of 50 kPa on the ground. If the compression index of clay layer is 0.36 and the void ratio is 0.95, determine the following: a. primary settlement of clay if the clay is normally consolidated b. primary settlement of clay if the preconsolidation pressure is 190 kPa c. primary settlement of clay if the preconsolidation pressure is 170 kP
