Question: 4 m thick clay layer under 4 m sand layer Water level is 4 m A 3 x 4 rectangular foundation will be constructed on

4m thick clay layer under 4m sand layer Water level is 4m
A 3x4 rectangular foundation will be constructed on this soil. As a result of the test performed on a sample taken at a depth of 5 m from the surface, the pre-consolidation pressure was calculated as 100 kPa, Cc -0.35, Cr=0.06. If the net vertical stress to be applied to the soil under the foundation is 100 kPa, calculate the amount of consolidation settlement that will occur in the clay layer. For clay soil, eo is -1.10. The unit weight of sand is y 17.5 kN/m and the unit weight of clay is Y-16.5 kN/m.(The text in the photo is in Turkish Pay attention)
