Question IV (30%): A 22 m thick normally consolidated clay layer has a load of 150 kPa applied to it over a large areal extent. The clay layer is located below a 3.5 m thick granular fill (p= 1.8 Mg/m³). A dense sandy gravel is found below the clay. The groundwater table is located at the top of the clay layer, and the submerged density of the clay soil is 0.95 Mg/m³. Consolidation tests performed on 2.20 cm thick doubly drained samples indicate the time for 50% consolidation completed as t50 = 10.5 min for a load increment close to that of the loaded clay layer. Compute the effective stress in the clay layer at a depth of 16 m below the ground surface 3.5 years after the application of the load.
