The soil profile for a future building construction site is shown in the following figure. The proposed footing is a 6.0 m diameter circular one with q = 200 kN/m² as shown. Estimate the final primary consolidation settlement of the 5 m thick normally consolidated clay layer. T = 3.0 m q = 200 kN/m² 5.3 Sand ydry = 18.6 kN/m³ %3D 6.8 W.T. Sand ywet = 19.0 kN/m³ 12.5 Clay Ywet = 18.5 kN/m³ eo = 0.86, LL = 42, PL = 18 17.5 Gravel ywet = 19.2 kN/m³ Z, m
