6 m o 0 A soil sample was collected from the clay layer (Figure) and tested in oedometer. The following consolidation data was obtained: = 100 kN/m² eq=1.22 1 Sand = 250 kN/m² Clay Hard bedrock e₁=0.97 This clay sample had the unit weight of 20 kN/m³, liquid limit of 55%, and the coefficient of permeability of 0.61x10-4 m/days. If the thickness of the clay layer is 6 m (see Figure), estimate the time (in days) necessary to achieve 70% consolidation of this clay layer in the field.
