A new soil sample predicts consolidation based on laboratory data indicating it takes 45 minutes for a 20 cm drainage path. Under field conditions, the path length doubles. How would you predict the new consolidation time?
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between time and drainage path length to reason it out.
You experimentally determined that a sample consolidates exponentially. How might you present your findings using both square-root and log-time methods?
💡 Hint: Illustrate and clearly label both graphs for comparison.
