10ft of

By utilizing the known theoretical relationship between percent consolidation and time factor, compute and plot the decrease in thickness with time for a 10ft thick layer of this clay, which is drained on the upper surface only. Given: eo = 0.92 Po = 4.5 kips/ft2, ~P = 1.5 kips/ft2, C

v = 4.2 x 10-5 ft2/min.
