2. A 10 m height fill is planned to be placed over the 15 m thick clay layer to consolidate it before road embankment construction. Consolidation tests on multiple clay samples before the fill placement reveal that the ce and cr values are equivalent with results from Question #1, the top 5 m clay sub-layer has o'p = 150 kPa, and the bottom 10 m clay sub-layer is normally consolidated. If immediate and secondary settlements are ignored, what will be the total amount of consolidation settlement caused by the 10 m fill placement? 10 m Dried Ps = 2.7 Mg/m³ e = 0.5 Fill 15 m OCR > 1 op = 150 kPa OCR = 1 Psat = 1.6 Mg/m³ eo = 1 Clay Gravel
