Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
Given a soil layer of 2m thick with 50kPa pressure, derive the expected consolidation time using both square-root and log-time methods, assuming specific permeability values.
💡 Hint: Look at how permeability affects water flow through soil.
Question 2
A field sample takes 80 hours to consolidate; a lab sample takes half that time. Discuss what factors might contribute to this discrepancy.
💡 Hint: Think about how varying conditions affect processes.
