A20 mm thick laboratory soil sample reaches 60% consolidation in 32.5 seconds under double drainage condition. How much time will be required for a 10 m thick layer in the field to reach the same degree of consolidation, if the clay layer is sandwiched between a sandy layer and an impermeable layer.
