Question 1

What is the main purpose of the Hyperbola method?

  • To measure soil permeability
  • To determine the coefficient of consolidation
  • To analyze soil compaction

💡 Hint: Think about what Cv represents in soil mechanics.

Question 2

True or False: The point T on the consolidation curve corresponds to 100% consolidation.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider what total consolidation means in a soil context.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A soil sample has a dial reading of 10 mm after 5 minutes and 13 mm after 20 minutes. Plot these on a logarithmic scale and determine the Cv based on the Hyperbola method.

💡 Hint: Refer back to how to plot points carefully and relate them to log time.

Question 2

Discuss how the soil type affects the consolidation behavior illustrated by the Hyperbola method. Provide examples of clay versus sandy soils.

💡 Hint: Consider the differences in particle structure and water drainage capabilities.
