Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Analyze a set of consolidation data to calculate point S using provided dial readings and drainage path specifications. Consider different scenarios of drainage lengths.

💡 Hint: Don’t forget to check the tangent effects on your identification!

Question 2

Given various soil samples with differing drainage path lengths, predict their consolidation rates and discuss how line PR’s slope might change based on this data.

💡 Hint: Think critically about the implications of differing paths.
