Mathematics · Geotechnical Engineering - Consolidation
A clay layer is subjected to a pressure increase. The layer has single drainage and undergoes 50% consolidation in 1 year. The coefficient of permeability k = 0.35 m/year and coefficient of volume compressibility mv = 1.8 × 10-3 m2/kN. Find the thickness of the clay layer. Consider unit weight of water γw = 9.81 kN/m3 and time factor Tv = 0.197.
