A clay specimen with a thickness of 80 mm is tested in the laboratory and drained from both the top and bottom. In order to reach an average consolidation of 50%, the test is performed for 8.5 minutes. How many years will it take a 17 m layer of the same type of clay to reach 65% average consolidation in the field? Assume underneath the clay layer, is an impermeable boundary.

Problem 3 In a laboratory consolidation test on a representative sample of cohesive soil, the original height of a double-drained sample 50% consolidation was 5 min. The laboratory sample was taken from a soil layer which is 15 m thick in the field, doubly drained, and subjected to similar loading. How long will it take until the layer consolidates 50 %? b. If the final consolidation settlement is predicted to be 20 cm, how long will it take for a...

Problem 1 A deposit of Swedish clay is 15 m thick drained at both top and bottom. The coefficient of consolidation for the clay layer was estimated to be 1 x 10 cm/sec from laboratory test. The ultimate consolidation settlement (Sc) was calculated under the applied load in the field and was found 80 cm. Find the following: a) How long would it take for settlement of 40 cm and 70...
