A 10-ft-thick silty clay layer is subjected to a load that results in total primary consolidation settlement of 0.85 inches. The clay is sandwiched between two sand layers and has an initial void ratio of 0.76, a coefficient of compression of 0.45, a coefficient of recompression of 0.07 and a coefficient of consolidation of 0.034 in2/year. Calculate the settlement at the end of 2 years and determine the time in days for 0.60 inches of settlement.
