A fill covering a wide area is to be placed at the surface of this profile. The fill has a total unit weight of 20 kN/m^3 and is 3 m thick. Assume that the data for the sample at 7.0 m are representative of the entire clay profile. Also assume that the clay is heavily over consolidated and that the danse sands at the surface of the profile are so stiff that they do not contribute to the settlement. Find the settlement of the surface due to compression of the clay layer
