Consider the proposed fill and soil profile shown in the figure below. The ultimate consolidation settlement is $$0.50\mathrm{m}$$. Do not apply any correction for the construction period. Using the simplified solution, compute the consolidation settlement at $$t?15$$ years after placement of the fill. How long will it take to reach $$95\%,98\%$$, and $$99\%$$ of the ultimate consolidation settlement? Use the simplified method.
