The time for 65% consolidation of a 19-mm clay specimen (drained at top and bottom) in the laboratory is 10 minutes. How long will it take for a 4-m-thick clay layer in the field to undergo 40% consolidation under the same pressure increment? In the field, there is a rock layer at the bottom of the clay.
