A surcharge of 100 kPa is applied over a large area above the soil profile shown in the figure below. The water table is located at the ground surface. Calculate the settlement developed at the surface in mm when primary consolidation settlement is completed (acceptable tolerance = 2%). Use a single clay layer in your calculations
