Refer to Problem 12.6. Given: c v = 2.8 3 10 6 m 2 /min. How long

Question:

Refer to Problem 12.6. Given: c= 2.8 3 10–6 m2/min. How long will it take for 60% consolidation to occur?


Data From Problem 12.6

Refer to Figure 12.42. Given: H1 = 2.5 m, H= 2.5 m,

H3 = 3m, and Δσ = 100 kN/m2. Also,
Sand: e = 0.64, G= 2.65
Clay: e = 0.9, G= 2.75, LL = 55
Estimate the primary consolidation settlement of the clay layer assuming that it is normally consolidated.
