The soil profile for a future building construction site is shown in the following figure. The proposed footing is a $6\mathrm{.}0$ m diameter circular one with $q=200k\frac{N}{m^2}$ as shown. Estimate the final primary consolidation settlement of the $5$ m thick consolidated clay layer.

Refer to Figure $11\mathrm{.}45.$ A square footing, $22m$ in size, supports a column load of $300$ kN $.$ The soil characteristics are given in the figure. Field monitoring indicated that the foundation settlement was $19$ mm during the first $12$ months.

a$.$ Estimate the average stress increase in the clay layer due to the applied load.

b$.$ Estimate the primary consolidation settlement.

c$.$ What is the degree of consolidation after $12$ months?

d$.$ Estimate the coefficient of consolidation for the pressure range.

e$.$ Estimate the settlement in $24$ months.
