2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is consolidation?
Think about what happens to a sponge when pressure is applied.
Explain the square-root time curve fitting method.
Consider how you would graph time related data.
What does the square-root time curve fitting method primarily help with?
Consider what consolidation measures.
True or False: The log-time curve fitting method is only applicable to sandy soils.
Think about the diversity of soil types.
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.
Look at how permeability affects water flow through soil.
A field sample takes 80 hours to consolidate; a lab sample takes half that time. Discuss what factors might contribute to this discrepancy.
Think about how varying conditions affect processes.
