Question:

Refer to Figure 11.43. Considering the soil to be a uniform clay layer, estimate the primary consolidation settlement due to the foundation load. Given: P = 150 kN; B = 3 m; L = 3 m; Df = 1.5 m; H = 8 m; e = 0.7; Gs = 2.72; and LL = 42. Assume that the clay is normally consolidated, and the groundwater table is at the foundation level. Use
