(b) Determine pre-consolidation pressure, compression index and swell index by referring to the curve obtained from Q1 (a). (6 marks) (c) Determine the settlement of the clay layer caused by primary consolidation if the clay is over consolidated. Use Cc and Cs that obtained from Q1 (b). (4 marks) (d) Determine the settlement of the clay layer caused by primary consolidation if the clay is normally consolidated and the groundwater level is located at the middle of sand layer. Given the saturated unit weight of the sand layer is 19kN/m3 while the clay layer is 20kN/m3. Use Cc and Cs that obtained from Q1 (b). (5 marks)
