A layer of clay 2 meters thick will settle 44 mm under an applied load. Calculate how long it will take to achieve 30% of the total settlement if the coefficient of consolidation is 0.00026 cm2/s and the clay layer can drain from the top only. Provide your answer in units of days as a whole number.

A 10-ft-thick silty clay layer is subjected to a load that results in total primary consolidation settlement of 0.85 inches. The clay is sandwiched between two sand layers and has an initial void ratio of 0.76, a coefficient of compression of 0.45, a coefficient of recompression of 0.07 and a coefficient of consolidation of 0.034 in2 /year. Calculate the settlement at the end of 2 years and determine the time in days for 0.60 inches of settlement.

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...

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...
