Question: A clay stratum 6 meters thick has initial void ratio of 1 . 5 2 and effective overburden pressure of 1 2 5 kN /

A clay stratum 6 meters thick has initial void ratio of 1.52 and effective
overburden pressure of 125 kN/m2. When the sample is subjected to increase
in pressure of 100 kN/m2, the void ratio reduces to 1.45. Determine the
coefficient of volume compressibility, compression index and final settlement
of stratum.
