Problem $3$: A fill is to be placed on the soil profile in the figure below. The total consolidation settlement is $0\mathrm{.}5m.$ Compute the settlement after $15$ years from the placement of the fill.

Problem $4$: For the data provided in Problem $3,$ how long will it take to reach $95\%,98\%,$ and $99\%$ of the ultimate consolidation settlement?

Problem $5$: The data shown below was obtained from a laboratory consolidation test on a normally consolidated soil. The sample was $62mm$ in diameter, $25mm$ tall and was tested under a double drainage condition. Compute $c_v$ using the log$-$time fitting method.
