A large area of 2-m high fill is placed on a normally-consolidated homogeneous sedimentary clay for preloading. The unit weight of the fill is 19.2 kN/m'. The undrained shear strength of the natural soil is 20 kPa. The new undrained shear strength of the soil when the degree of consolidation reached 80% is: 20.0 kPa O 23.5 kPa 26.8 kPa O 28.4 kPa 29.6 kPa
