Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A soil sample shows dial readings of 0.1 mm at t1 (1 hour) and 0.4 mm at t2 (4 hours). Calculate the difference and interpret it in terms of consolidation percentage.
💡 Hint: Think about how these differences relate to the total expected settlement.
Question 2
Considering a log-time graph, point P shows a reading of 0.2 at log t1 and point Q shows 0.5 at log t2. How do you determine the readings for 0% and 100% consolidation?
💡 Hint: Refer back to how intersections define those consolidation limits.
