Question: 1 . On the stratigraphy shown below, a large extension fill is placed ( it could be considered infinite extension ) , the fill material

1. On the stratigraphy shown below, a large extension fill is placed (it could be considered infinite extension), the fill material has a specific weight of.24 kN/m3 and height of 4m.
a) Determine the settlement that the fill will cause due to the consolidation of the clay layer.
b) Draw a diagram of the total load and pressure load with respect to depth, for the primary consolidation time (tp). Draw from the surface level to the depth of 6m.
c) Draw a diagram of the pore water pressure with respect to time for the center of the CL stratum. Indicate the extreme values of the scheme, both in pressure and time.
Remember that current conditions show unidirectional flow and that is the stability condition
