Slightly overconsolidated clay is located 15 ft below the surface (OCR=1.3). The Cc and Cs of the clay are 0.25 and 0.05, respectively, and Cv=1.5x10-6 ft/min The initial void ratio is 0.45. Please calculate the consolidation settlement. Assuming intact rock underneath clay, i.e. the rock underneath cannot provide drainage path. (Cs=Cw). What is the primary consolidation settlement?
