A compressible, overconsolidated clay layer is 4 ft thick and the slope of its field consolidation line is 0.24. If the initial void ratio is 0.32 and the effective overburden pressure is 2.3 tons/ft^2, what is the primary consolidation at midheight of the clay layer if the additional pressure from the building is 3.8 tons/ft^2? Give an answer in inches to 3 decimal places. The slope of the rebound line is 0.09 and the overconsolidation pressure is 4 tons/ft^2.
