What is Darcy's Law mainly concerned with?
Remember that Darcy's law deals specifically with flow.
True or False: The coefficient of permeability is assumed to change during consolidation.
Consider the assumptions made in the theory.
Given a soil stratum with varying loads and permeability, evaluate the expected excess pore water pressure distribution.
Break it down by layers and apply the formula for effective stress.
Design a simple experiment to measure the degree of consolidation over time and discuss the findings.
Consider the principle of drainage.
