Example Given: A 12 m thick layer of Chicago clay is doubly drained. (This means that a very pervious layer compared to the clay exists on top of and under the 12 m clay layer.) The coefficient of consolidation c, -8.0 x 10 m²/s. Required: Find the degree or percent consolidation for the clay 5 yr after loading at depths of 3, 6, 9, and 12 m.
