Question: ( 2 5 points ) In a laboratory consolidation test, 1 2 . 7 m m thick clay specimen was tested with top and bottom

(25 points) In a laboratory consolidation test, 12.7mm thick clay specimen was tested with top and bottom drained conditions and 90% consolidation was observed in 15.8 minutes (t90=15.8min ). In the field, the same clay material with a thickness of 6.5m is in between sand (top) and gravel (bottom) layers. How long will the field clay layer take to achieve 50% and 90% of consolidation settlement?
