Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a soil sample has readings of 10 mm at P after 10 minutes and 20 mm at Q after 40 minutes, calculate the coefficient of consolidation Cv.

💡 Hint: Remember the formula involves the difference in dial readings over the time difference.

Question 2

A consolidation test shows that a soil reaches 50% consolidation after 25 minutes. What would be the expected time for full consolidation assuming a linear relationship?

💡 Hint: Think about the principles of logarithmic relationships for consolidation times.
