A saturated clay layer of thickness H=4H = 4H=4 m has drainage at both the top and bottom boundary (double drainage). The coefficient of consolidation is Cv=2times10−7C_v = 2 \\times 10^{-7}Cv​=2times10−7 m2^22/s. The time factor is defined as Tv=fracCvtd2T_v = \\frac{C_v t}{d^2}Tv​=fracCv​td2, where ddd is the drainage path length. How many days are required to reach a time factor of Tv=0.2T_v = 0.2Tv​=0.2 (approximately 5050\\%50 consolidation)?
