A large embankment is to be built on the surface of a 15 ft clay layer. Before the embankment is built, the initial σ’u at the middle of the clay layer is 480 psf. The results from a I-D consolidation test on the the clay from the middle of the layer are as follows: (σ‘ρ = 1800 psf, Crε = 0.0352, Ccε = 0.180. If the final σ’u at the middle of the layer after the embankment loading is 2100 psf, what is the settlement, in inches, of the clay layer resulting from this loading?
