Which soil will take years and decades to undergo full settlement after the new building is constructed?

Because clay has low permeability, this water expulsion takes a long time, leading to settlement that continues for months, years, or even decades, especially in thick layers. Based on the characteristics described above, the settlement process that is most time-dependent and can last for very long periods is the consolidation of clay.
