Determine the average coefficient of permeability, corrected to 20C, of a clay specimen for the following consolidation
Question:
Determine the average coefficient of permeability, corrected to 20°C, of a clay specimen for the following consolidation increment:
σ1 = 200 kPa, e1 = 1.24, σ2 = 400 kPa, e2 = 1.09
Height of specimen = 25.4 mm, Drainage at both top and bottom faces
Time required for 50% consolidation = 18 min, Test temperature = 23 deg C
