Solution

The correct option is A 1 only
From Taylor's formula, we have

$T_{v} = \frac{C_{v} t}{d^{2}}$

For full consolidation i.e. U = 100%. $T_{v}$ will more or less be a constant.

$∴ C_{v} t = c o n s t a n t$

$\Rightarrow C_{v} \propto \frac{1}{t}$

Thus, larger the value of coefficient of consolidation, smaller it takes for full consolidation to occur.

Q. A 4 m thick layer normally consolidated clay has average e = 1.3. Its compression index is 0.6 and coefficient of consolidation is

1 m^{2} / y r

. If the increase in vertical pressure due to foundation load on the clay layer is equal to existing effective overburden pressure, the change in the thickness of the clay layer in mm.

Q. In a consolidation test, the thickness of saturated specimen of clay under over burden pressure of

150 k N / m^{2}

is 30 mm at water content of 20%. On increasing the consolidation pressure to

250 k N / m^{2}

, the sample thickness decreases to 25 mm after consolidation. If specific gravity of clay is 2.7 the compression index of the clay.

Q. The identical clay samples of the same size, designated as A and B are subjected to consolidation test under identical loading conditions.
