[amp_mcq option1=”decreases with increase in liquid limit” option2=”increases with increase in liquid limit” option3=”first increases and then decreases with increase in liquid limit” option4=”remains constant at all liquid limits” correct=”option1″]<\/p>\n

The correct answer is A. decreases with increase in liquid limit.<\/p>\n

The coefficient of consolidation is a measure of how quickly a soil consolidates, or compresses, under load. It is a function of the soil’s permeability and the effective stress. The effective stress is the difference between the total stress and the pore water pressure.<\/p>\n

The liquid limit is a measure of the soil’s plasticity. It is the water content at which the soil changes from a solid to a liquid state. Clays with a high liquid limit are more plastic and have a lower coefficient of consolidation than clays with a low liquid limit.<\/p>\n

This is because clays with a high liquid limit have a higher water content and a lower effective stress. The higher water content makes it more difficult for the soil to consolidate, and the lower effective stress means that the soil is not as strongly compacted.<\/p>\n

As the liquid limit increases, the soil becomes more plastic and has a lower coefficient of consolidation. This means that it takes longer for the soil to consolidate under load.<\/p>\n

The coefficient of consolidation is an important parameter in geotechnical engineering. It is used to calculate the settlement of foundations and other structures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
