(a) Plot compression amounts versus time for data in the 8 to 16 tons/ft² load increment in Table 16.1. (b) Select a representative average sample thickness during this time interval. (c) Apply a temperature correction, 168C in the field and 218C in the laboratory. (d) Calculate thickness and time scale factors for a soil layer 2.5 m thick with drainage in one and in two directions. (e) Replot the data to predict settlement in the field with both of these drainage conditions.
