Question: The foundation size for the building below is 1 2 m 1 2 m and the pressure under it is 2 0 0 k N

The foundation size for the building below is 12m12m and the pressure under it is 200kNm2. Calculate the consolidation settlement of the clay layer long after construction. The soil properties are as follows: [12 points]
Clay: e0=0.9;cs=0.04;cc=0.15;OCR=1.0;ysat=20.05kNm3;w=10kNm3
Gravelly sand: sat=20kNm3;y=17.5kNm3
Take I=0.175.
At the end of a consolidation test for a specimen, the final settlement is reported as 5 mm . What is the settlement value at t30%?[6 points]
The foundation size for the building below is 1 2
