Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have consolidation test data showing a dial reading of 0.5 mm for t1=1 hour and 1.5 mm for t2=4 hours. Using the Logarithm of Time Method, determine the 0% and 100% consolidation readings.

💡 Hint: Identify differences between readings to compute accurate values.

Question 2

Compare the usefulness of the Square Root of Time Method and the Logarithm of Time Method in predicting consolidation behavior within varying soil types.

💡 Hint: Relate soil types to their consolidation behavior characteristics.
