The following figure show the relationship between the voids ratio and effective stress for a soil sample collected from the mid depth of a 6 m thick clay layer. The Cc and Cr values have been determined to be 0.3 and 0.04 respectively. For the given information: If the current effective stress at the mid depth is 70 kPa, calculate the ultimate consolidation settlement when the effective stress at mid depth increases by 10 kPa due to an applied load. If the coefficient of consolidation is 0.555 m2/s and the clay layer is single drained, calculate the time taken to reach 45% consolidation.
