Question 1

What is the assumption regarding permeability in one-dimensional consolidation?

  • It decreases during consolidation
  • It remains constant
  • It increases during consolidation

💡 Hint: Think about how soil changes under pressure.

Question 2

Excess pore water pressure is developed uniformly across all clay layers. True or False?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider real conditions you observed.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

In a construction project, soil samples showed varying responses to compressive loads. Propose reasons based on the limitations of 1D consolidation, regarding local variations in water pressures.

💡 Hint: Analyze the site conditions to identify factors affecting water pressure variations.

Question 2

Design an analytical study to evaluate the degree of consolidation over time in a given soil stratum experiencing a changing load. What variables would you consider?

💡 Hint: Reflect on how each variable interacts with the others in consolidation.
