A saturated clay layer of thickness H=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} m2^2/s. The time factor is defined as Tv=fracCvtd2T_v = \\frac{C_v t}{d^2}, where dd is the drainage path length. How many days are required to reach a time factor of Tv=0.2T_v = 0.2 (approximately 5050\\% consolidation)?
