Boring was carried out at a certain subsidence site. Then sample of clay layer was taken without disturbing. Consolidation tests were conducted on this sample. When the consolidation pressure was from 3.2 kg/cm2 to 4.8 kg/cm2 , the void ratio changed from 2.50 to 1.80. The thickness of this clay layer was 5 m. What is the final consolidation settlement of this clay layer?

A sample, 75 mm in diameter and 20 mm high, taken from a clay layer 10 m thick, was tested in an oedometer with drainage at the upper and lower boundaries. It took the laboratory sample 15 minutes to reach 50% consolidation. If the clay layer in the field has the same drainage condition as the laboratory sample, calculate how long it will take the 10 m clay layer to achieve 50% and 90% consolidation. How much more time would...
