Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have dial readings of 3mm at t1 and 12mm at t2 (with t2 = 4t1). How would you plot this data, and what does the reading at point R tell you?

💡 Hint: Remember to graph on a log scale for clarity.

Question 2

Given a consolidation curve with the primary line ending at dial reading 6mm and the secondary line intersecting at 9mm, what does this signify?

💡 Hint: Connect the relevance of the readings to the definition of consolidation stages.
