Consider a clay layer that is 1 m thick. The clay has a compression index of 0.35, a swell index of 0.07, a permeability of 4 x 10-7 cm/sec, a preconsolidation pressure of 172 kPa and a coefficient of consolidation of 2.7 x 10-4 cm2/min. The initial effective stress at the midpoint of the layer is 140 kPa, and the soil has a void ratio of 1.01. The stress is increased to 200 kPa. The soil is drained above and...

a 7m thick clay layet in the fiels drained on one side ( is normally consolidated ) when the pressure is increased from 60 kn/m^2 to 130kn/m^2 the void ratio decreaes from 1.12 to 0.98 the hydraulic conductivity ( cofficent of permeability ), k of clay during the above loading range was found to be 4.3 * 10^-7 cm/sec , how long in days will it take for clay to reach70% consolidation?
