It is now 2123, and a big celebration is planned for the four story tall Fleming Innovation Center with each story weighing 1 ksf (kip per square ft). The current soil mechanics professor has asked her class (and you) to determine the percentage of the total consolidation that has been completed. She shared data with the students that was collected back in 2023. At that time, the engineers ran a consolidation test on a four-inch-thick sample of the clay underlying the building. The sample was found to have achieved 45 percent consolidation in 78 days. The soil profile for the site is shown below: 20' 25' FIC sand clay sand
