A soil profile is shown in the scheme below. A uniformly distributed load q = 100 kPa is applied at the ground surface covering an extensive area. The clay is normally consolidated. Assume that the primary consolidation will be complete in 3.5 years. The secondary compression index Ca = 0.011. Estimate the total settlement 10 years after the load application due to consolidation and secondary compression of the clay layer. q= 100 kPa G.S 2m V W.T Yáy= 14 kN/m Sand 4m Yra: = 18 kN/m?
