The time required for any degree of consolidation can be obtained from Taylor's formula, it is a dimensionless parameter
Tv = Cv × t /d2
Where,
Cv = Coefficient of consolidation is constant for the same type of soils,
Tv = Time factor will also remain constant for the same degree of consolidation.
Thus, Time Factor depends on Coefficient of consolidation, Drainage path & Time.
Important Points
