A soil profile consists of a clay layer of 10 m thick between a permeable sand layer above and an impermeable rock layer below, the water table being in the sand layer. Before the construction of a reservoir raft foundation, piezometers were installed in the clay layer.The whole process of filling the reservoir may be approximated to applying rapidly a single pressure increment of 100 kN/m2 uniformly throughout the clay layer. One year after filling the reservoir, the settlement was 20 cm and the piezometers indicated the distribution of excess pore pressure as shown in the figure below. Estimate the final settlement and the time to complete 90 % of primary consolidation.
