Question 41. Two clay layer of A and B of thickness 2cm and 3 cm is load with pressure of 200KN/m². If the time taken by soil A to reach 50% consolidation is 1/4th of that required by soil B to reach 50% consolidation, then find the ratio of coefficients of Permeability. Given that ratio of coefficient of volume change is 1.751.A clay sample 24mm thick takes 20 minutes to consolidate 50% with double drainage. The field clay layer from which sample was obtained takes 386 days to consolidate 50% with double drainage. Find the depth of the clay layer in the field.
