The solution of this problem will give you the time frame for consolidation.
I know what i'm talking about.
So does BigH.
You should read a textbook, which may or may not derive the equations, but will give them to you, if you are patient enough to actually read the text.
You should also get Cv for the increment of loading that you are actually going to endure in the field - i.e., Cv for the pre-consolidated portion of loading is typically much different than the Cv for the virgin portion of loading.

Everything else is based on the theories in the textbooks, but couldn't be directly solved by a textbook equation.
