A clay layer 5 m thick has double drainage. It was consolidated under a load of 127.5 kN/m2. The load is increased to 197.5 kN/m2. The coefficient of volume compressibility is 5.79 × 10^–4 m2/Kn and value of k = 1.6 × 10^–8 m/min. If the test sample is 2 cm thick and attains 100% consolidation in 24 hours, what is the time in days taken for 100% consolidation in the actual layer? Show diagram

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, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.
