A large embankment is to be built on the surface of a 18-ft clay layer. Before the embankment is built, the initial σ′v at the middle of the clay layer is 500 psf. The results from a 1-D consolidation test on the clay from the middle of the layer provide σ′p=1600 psf, Crε=0.0352, and Ccε=0.180. If the final σ′v at the middle of the layer after the embankment loading is 2000 psf, what is the settlement, in inches, of the clay layer resulting from thisloading?
