A 18-ft thick clay layer in the field (drained on one side) is normally consolidated. When the pressure is increase from 0.75 ton/ft^2 to 1.5 ton/ft^2, the void ratio decreases from 1.12 to 0.98. The hydraulic conductivity, k, of the clay during the above loading range was found to be 4.3 times 10^-7 cm/sec. a. How long (in days) will it take for the clay layer to reach 70% reach 70% consolidation? b. What is the settlement at that time (that is, at 70% consolidation)?

Water in a partially filled large tank is to be supplied to the roof top, which is 8 m above the water level in the tank, through a 2.2-cm-internal-diameter pipe by maintaining a constant air pressure of 300 kpa (gage) in the tank. if the head loss in the piping is 2 m of water, determine the discharge rate of the supply of water to the roof top in liters per second.
