e Consolidation test on a representative sample of the normally consolidated clay soil stratum, shown in the soil profile below, resulted in a compression index of0.28. A structure proposed at this site will produce a uniform surface load of 100kPa on a mat foundation (10 m by 15 m) at the ground surface. Estimate the maximum potential differential settlement throughout the foundation.
