A very large embankment is build on top of the soil profile shown below: Strata Depth (m) Average unit weight (kN/m3) Topsoil and sand 0 to -3 (WT at 0 m) 19.6 18.8 Clay -3 to -6 Impervious rock below -6 The average coefficient of compressibility of the clay is 177 x 10-6 m2/kN and the coefficient of consolidation is 0.025 mm2/sec. The additional pressure on the clay due to the weight of the embankment is 200 kPa. Determine the magnitude of final settlement of the embankment expected due to the consolidation of the clay. Assume the clay stratum as one layer when performing the calculations. O a. 444 mm O b. 222 mm O c. 106 mm O d. 333 mm
