Challenge Problems

A soil sample exhibits dial readings as follows: 0% compression at 5 seconds and 60% compression at 20 seconds. Using the log-time method, what would be the expected reading at 80 seconds?
💡 Hint: Visualize the curve and think about how readings progress.
In a consolidation test, the data collected yielded values of 0.1 at 10 seconds, 0.4 at 40 seconds, and 1.0 at 120 seconds. Is the log-time method applicable here? Why or why not?
💡 Hint: Examine the pattern of values and consider proportional ratios.
