Please i need help to solve this question.. A sample of the soil was taken for oedometer test and the initial thickness of the sample was 19 mm for astress increment of 100 kPa, calculate coefficient of permeability(k), coefficient of compressibility (mv) andcoefficient of consolidation (cv) from the data obtained as following: (hint: use the root time method). Thank you
A soil sample having initial void ratio 0.75and thickness 20 mm is subjected toconsolidation test. Initially the dial gaugewas set to zero. At the end of consolidation,the final dial gauge reading was observedto be 0.25 mm. The final void ratio of thesample is....

In an Oedometer test, the void ratio of a clay decreased from 0.652 to 0.51 under change in effective pressure from 60 KPa to 130 KPa. Under two-way drainage (for the same test) it was found that the required time to achieve 50% tso consolidation was 12 mins with the sample of thickness 12mm. Find the coefficient of permeability of the clay for the given stress range. No wrong answers please i will downvote and box the final answer
FUNDAMENTALS OF GEOTECHNICAL ANALYSIS A constant head permeability test is performed on soil that is 2 cm x 2 cm square, and 2.5cm long. The head difference applied during the test is 20 cm and 7 cm3 is collected over a time of 100 sec. Provide step by step solution. a) Compute the permeability based on these test conditions and results. b) A falling head test is conducted on the same soil specimen at the same time (t1 – t2 = 100 sec), and the standpipe diameter is 0.8 cm. If the average head during the test should be 18 cm, what are h1 and h2 values?

One of your junior engineers has submitted a construction quality (CQC) plan foryour review before it is sent to the client. The CQC plan includes a compactionspecification for the compacted clay liner. The specification requires that the clay becompacted to a dry unit weight 92% of maximum dry unit weight (standard Proctor)and wet of standard Proctor optimum water content. Compaction and hydraulicconductivity-water content curves for the soil are shown in the figure below. The clayliner is required to have hydraulic conductivity1 x 10-7cm/sec. Find the acceptablezone based on hydraulic conductivity. Does this specification ensure that the requiredhydraulic conductivity will be obtained? Part II: Explain the shape of the standard Proctor compaction and hydraulicconductivity-water content curves (above) in terms of the shear strength and fate of clodsduring compaction
Please help me understand the following soil mechanics questions and the outcomes I have noticed from my lab experiment. For context, I performed a one-dimensional consolidation test, also called oedometer test. These questions are so that I can better understand the theory behind the lab I did, and will NOT be used in an assessment. 1. In comparing the c_v values obtained from the Root-time and the Log-time methods. Should I expect these two values to be similar or to be significantly different? Please provide specific reason(s) as to why or why not. 2. What are two factors that could have affected the value of preconsolidation pressure (σ_c^' ) inferred from the Void Ratio vs. Effective Vertical Stress graph?
a completely dry sand sample fills a 200 cm 3 metal cylinder and weighs 260 g (Ws), having Ss = 2.6 Calculate e(void ratio), then complete the schematic. (see the picture). I WILL RATE IT.
