The consolidation test of a clay sample taken from a 2 m thick normally consolidated clay soil layer has been conducted and the results are shown in the table below. The average overburden stress of the clay soil layer is 50 kPa, What would the total settlement (mm) be if an additional 100 kPa loading is applied over a large area on the top of the clay layer? (Hint: void ratio is related to the sample volume) P(kPa) 0 50 100 200 400 e 0.850 0.760 0.710 0.650 0.640
