A surcharge and sand drain installation is proposed for an airport project to accelerate the consolidation of a thick deposit of fine-grained soil underlying the construction area. The plan is to install sand drains 1.5 ft in diameter at a staggered spacing so that each sand drain will handle a plan area 15 ft in diameter. Laboratory tests indicate that the coefficient of consolidation for horizontal drainage of the soil is 0.5 ft2/day. Computations indicate that the surcharge load will cause an eventual settlement of 12 in. How long a period will be required for 90 percent of this settlement to take place?
