Question

For a normally consolidated laboratory clay specimen drained on both sides, the following are given:

σ₀’ = 4000 ib/ft² e=1.2

σ₀’ + Δσ’= 5000 lb/ft² e=0.9

Thickness of clay specimen= 2in

Time for 50% consolidation= 2 min.

Determine the hydraulic conductivity (ft/min) of the clay for the loading range.
How long (in days) will it take for a 6-ft clay layer in the field(drained on both side)

To reach 60% consolidation?
