(c) Serviceability limit state is the critical criterion for the design of a square footing on the soil profile shown in Figure Q-c. The groundwater level is 3 m below the ground surface, but is expected to seasonally rise to the surface. The applied loading will cause a vertical stress increase at the center of the clay layer of 15 kPa. Calculate the consolidation settlement of the clay.
