Unit Conversion
Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent,…
Question
2.17 A clay specimen 25 mm thick (drained at top only) was tested in the laboratory. For a given load increment, the time for 60% consolidation was 6 min. How long will it take for 50% consolidation for a similar clay layer in the field that is 2.45 m thick and drained on both sides?
