A saturated soil has the following information, with properties constant in the sublayer. Assume that the void ratio = 1 and that the in-situ effective stress is 1 tsf. A load of 1 tsf is added at the depth of the sample. Cc = 0.3 and Cr = 0.03. Preconsolidation stress is 1.5 tsf. Determine the settlement for a 2-foot thick sublayer at the depth of the sample from this applied load.
