A 3.8 m thick clay soil with a current overburden pressure of 75 kPa is going to experience an additional stress of 49 kPa after a new structure is built. If it was determined that the clay is normally consolidated has an initial void ratio of 1.4, a recompression index of 0.14, and a compression index of 0.61. Determine the total amount of settlement that is expected to occur. A layer of clay, 4.2 meters thick will settle a total of 59 mm under a new applied load Determine how much settlement will occur within the first year if the coefficient of consolidation is 0.07 cm2/min and the soil can only drain from the top. Provide your answer in millimeters
