Question: I do not forgive if you do not use all the Data, I give if you do not use all the data I do not

I do not forgive if you do not use all the Data, I give if you do not use all the data I do not forgive. On the stratigraphy shown, a structure will be placed that will transmit a stress increase of 200 kN/m^2 at the midpoint of the CH clay stratum. If the structure accepts a maximum settlement of 6 cm and if its useful life is 50 years. Determine if the maximum settlement will be exceeded during the useful life of the work. Show on a graph: pore water pressure vs. time, the consolidation process that the clay layer would undergo due to the imposed load
On the same stratigraphy (without placing any structure), a significant drop in the water table has been generated, the drop is 7m. This drop in the water table continues for approximately 60 years. Subsequently, the water level recovers its original position (on the ground surface). Assuming that the water is stable, that there is no flow, the structure mentioned in the first part of the problem will be placed. Calculate the settlement that the structure will suffer at the end of its useful life.
(Always do your calculations in the middle of the clay layer)
