Question

2. (15p.) Which statement would not be correct?, WHY? (a) The increase in pore pressure within the soil is termed as the excess pore pressure and (b) In a saturated clay in the undrained condition, the applied load at time t-0 is resisted (c) Consolidation settlement in a fully saturated clay is the result of a gradual reduction in (d) Compression index (co) is the absolute value of the gradient of the virgin compression (e) The coefficient of consolidation (cv) is traditionally determined using three methods; varied with time and from point to point within the soil mass. solely by the pore water its volume due to the drainage of water through the voids of the soil. line (i) square root time fitting method, (ii) log of time fitting method, (iii) finite difference method.

Explanation / Answer

Option A is incorrect as the excess pore water pressure is due to the rapidly applied loadin condition. Material having low permeablity uch as the clay materials will be showing these properties and is also propotional to the vertical preesure.
