What is the average degree of consolidation for clay layer

Reference no: EM13298779

A normally consolidated clay layer is 4 m thick (one way drainage). From the application of a given pressure, the total anticipated primary consolidation settlement will be 80mm.

What is the average degree of consolidation for the clay layer when the settlement is 30 mm?

If the Average value of cv for the pressure range is 0.003 cm^2/sec, how long will it take for 50% settlement to occur?

How long will it take for 50% consolidation to occur if the clay layer is drained at both top and bottom?
