A uniform surcharge of 96 kPa is applied at the ground surface of a soil profile, as shown in Fig. 1. Determine the distribution of the excess pore water pressure in the 3 m thick clay layer after 1 year of load application. Provide values of the excess pore water pressure and degree of consolidation at depths 0 m, 0.75m, 1.5 m, 2.25 m and 3 m from the top of the clay layer. Also calculate the average degree of consolidation for the entire clay layer 1 year after the load application. Uniform surcharge 96 kN/m² 1.5 m Sand G.W.T. 1.5 m Sand 3m Clay C,-9.3×103 cm²/yr Sand
