What will it be after consolidation is completed

Reference no: EM13552922

The current vertical stress at a point in a saturated clay is 181 kPa. This soil is to be covered with a 2.5m thick fill that will have a unit weight of 19.3 kN/ m^3. What will be the value of the vertical stress at this point immediately after the fill is placed, before any consolidation has occurred? What will it be after consolidation is completed?
