Question
Two points on a curve for a normally consolidated clay have the following coordinates:
Point 1: e=0.7, d = 100 kN/m²
Point 2: e2=0.6, d₂ = 300 kN/m²
If the average overburden pressure on a 6 m thick clay layer is 150 kN/m², how much settlement will
the clay layer experience due to an induced stress (A) of 160 kN/m² at its mid-depth.
