Question: Answer is 6 5 . 8 8 pls show me working A 2 1 . 0 m thick normally consolidated clay layer is located below

Answer is 65.88 pls show me working
A 21.0 m thick normally consolidated clay layer is located below a 3.3 m thick layer of gravel with density of \(\rho=1.6\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{cm3}\). A load of 154 kPa is applied to the surface over a large extent. A dense sandy gravel exists below the clay layer. The ground water table is located at the top of the clay layer, and submerged density of the soil is \(0.93\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{cm}^{3}\). Consolidation tests performed on 2.1 cm thick doubly drained samples indicate \(\mathrm{t}_{50}=2.06\mathrm{~min}\) for a load increment close to that of the loaded clay layer. Compute the effective stress increase in the clay layer at a depth of 16.0 m below the ground surface 6 years after application of the load.
Effective stress increase in kPa :
