A 3.0 m thick singly drained normally consolidated clay layer has eo 5 0.89, Cc 5 0.46, and cv 5 3.5 m2 /year. The effective overburden pressure at the middle of the layer is 105.0 kN/m2 . It is proposed to build a large warehouse that is expected to impose a pressure of 50.0 kN/m2 at the ground level. a. What would the primary consolidation settlement be?
b. If the engineer proposes to preload the site with a pressure of 90.0 kN/m^2, how long should this surcharge be left to ensure there is no postconstruction settlement when the warehouse is built?
