Consider the soil profile shown in the following figure. The soil is subjected to an uniformly distributed load \( \Delta \sigma=31.1 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \) on the ground surface. The sand, Is such that \( \gamma_{d}=16.5 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \) and \( \gamma_{\text {satsand }}=19.3 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{3} \); the underlying clay has \( \gamma_{\text {satelay }}=20.5 \mathrm{kN} / \mathrm{m}^{3}, L L=38, e_{0}=0.89 \), and \( C_{3}=0.25 C_{6} \) Depths \( \mathrm{H}_{1}, \mathrm{H}_{2} \), and \( \mathrm{H}_{3} \) are as shown. Determine the primary consolidation displacement of the normally consolidated clay layer.
