A new, wide highway embankment is planned across a relatively recent deposit of doubly-drained, saturated clay soil with cv = 5E-8 m2/sec. The settlement analysis of the 10 m thick clay layer yielded an estimated consolidation settlement of 800 mm for the new embankment loading. Determine and plot the settlement of the clay layer (as measured at the ground surface) at 0, 0.49, 3.12, 6.39, 13.44, and 18.44 years.
