The time for 75% consolidation of a 25 mm clay specimen (drained at top and bottom) in the laboratory is 22 minutes. How long will it take for a 6 m thick clay layer (same clay) in the field to undergo 55% consolidation under the same pressure increment? In the field, there is a rock layer at the bottom of the clay layer.
