Critical Thinking Problem

$11.$C$\mathrm{.}1$ Foundation engineers are often challenged by the existence of soft compressible soils at the construction site. Figure $11\mathrm{.}46$ shows a soil profile with a silty sand $)$ underlain by high$-$plasticity clay $({}_{\text{s}\text{a}\text{t}}=($:$17k\frac{N}{m^3}\}$ and a peat layer $)=(16k\frac{N}{m^3},$ followed by dense sand. To expedite consolidation and minimize future settlement, an additional $2-$m$-$thick fill material, compacted to a unit weight of $19k\frac{N}{m^3},$ will be placed on top of the silty sand layer. The plan area of the fill is $10m10m.$ The fill load will be left in place for $2$ years, after which construction will begin with the fill becoming part of the permanent foundation. Undisturbed samples collected from the clay and organic layers had the following properties:
