Question #2 (2.5 marks) How long will it take a take a clay layer of 6 m for primary consolidation to be completed (excess pore pressure is 100% dissipated). Given that for the soil, m, = 0.00031 m²/kN and the permeability of the clay is 3.5x10-9 m/s. Note that the clay is free to drain at both top and bottom faces. Calculate the primary consolidation if a building imposes a 100 kN/m² stress on the soil.
