An oedometer (consolidation) test is performed on a 4" thick specimen, drained on top and bottom. It was observed that 45 percent consolidation (T, = 0.15) was attained in 78 hours. Determine the time required to attain 70 percent consolidation (T, = 0.40) in a job site where the clay stratum is shown below. Building's load 20 WT SAND CLAY 25" SAND
