a) What does permeability mean; Explain by comparing the permeability of cohesive and non-cohesive soils. What experiments measure the permeability of cohesive and non-cohesive soils in the laboratory? b- What is thixotropy? Explain by thixotropy whether the foundation of the structure to be supported by the pile foundation, which is produced by excavating on a clay ground, is right after the pile construction and the loading of the piles is correct?
