4. The construction of a 10m x 10m square water tank in a residential neighbourhood has been planned. As indicated in Figure below, a 6m thick soft clay layer was discovered between sand layers during site exploration. For laboratory studies, an undisturbed soil sample was obtained in the middle of the soft clay layer. The findings of the laboratory consolidation test are listed below.
