Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A soil sample shows a dial reading of 10 mm after 2 minutes and 22 mm after 8 minutes. Plot these points and find Cv.
💡 Hint: Start with identifying t1 and t2, then calculate the difference.
If a consolidation curve intersects the dials at 0%, 50%, and 100% at specific times, explain how you would analyze these points for practical applications.
💡 Hint: Relate readings to real-world scenarios like park benches or buildings.
