It is expected that the vertical stress at the middle of the clay layer will increase by 32 kPa. Calculate the final consolidation settlement. Ground water level is at the top of the clay layer. An oedometer test on a sample of the clay revealed that 90% consolidation on a 20-mm thick sample occurred in 40 minutes. The sample was drained on the upper and lower boundaries. Estimate the consolidation settlement in one year.
