1. (2 pts) What things do we need to be measured during theconsolidation test? 2. (2 pts) What is the difference betweenprimary consolidation and secondary consolidation? 3. (4 pts) Usinga semiâ€log plot of time versus dial readings describe the procedurethat are used to determine the coefficient of consolidation cv? 4.(2 pts) Does the laboratory sample in the consolidation test deformlaterally? 5. (2 pts) How many drainage paths are there in aconsolidation test? 6. (4 pts) Describe how an oedometer can beused to determine the volumetric changes in a soil sample due towetting over a range of vertical pressures? 7. (2 pts) Whatassumption do we make to permit us to compute settlement (verticalchanges in ground surface) using the volumetric changes in a soiltested in the consolidation test?
