A clay specimen was tested in a laboratory consolidation device, which was 25.4 mm (1 in.) thick and only the top boundary was drained. There was 90% consolidation time on the specimen obtained as 2.2 hours. Determine the following: (a) Time for 50% consolidation in the field with this soil with 9.6 m thickness where both top and bottom layers are drained (b) Time for 90% consolidation in the field with this soil with 9.6 m thickness where both top and bottom layers are drained © For the same field condition above, at the end of 1 year after the placement of load, how much primary consolidation settlement occurs relative to its final amount of the settlement? (d) The same question as in ©, but at the end of 5 years
