Question

A clay soil, tested in a consolidometer, showed a decrease

in void ratio from 1.20 t0 1.10 when the pressure was

increased from 0.25 to 0.50 kg/cm2

. Calculate the

coefficient of compressibility (av) and the coefficient of

volume compressibility (mv). If the coefficient of

consolidation (cv) determined in the test for the given

stress increment was 10m2

/year, calculate the coefficient

of permeability in cm/s.​

Answer 1

stabilization is used to increase or decrease almost every
