Considering the soil to be a uniform clay layer, estimate the primary consolidation settlement due to the foundation load. Given: P = 150 kN; B = 3 m; L = 3 m; D, = 1.5 m; H = 8 m; e = 0.7; G, = 2.72; and LL = 42. Assume that the clay is normally consolidated, and the groundwater P table is at the foundation level.
