Answer with Explanation:
Assuming that the degree of consolidation is less than 60% the relation between time factor and the degree of consolidation is
Solving for 'U' we get
Since our assumption is correct thus we conclude that degree of consolidation is 50.46%
The consolidation at different level's is obtained from the attached graph corresponding to Tv = 0.2
i) = 71% consolidation
ii) = 45% consolidation
iii) = 30% consolidation
Part b)
The degree of consolidation is given by
Thus a settlement of 50.46 centimeters has occurred
For time factor 0.7, U is given by
thus consolidation of 85.59 % has occured if time factor is 0.7
The degree of consolidation is given by
