Coefficient of consolidation is given by the expression

The combined effect of permeability and compressibility of soil on the rate of volume change is given by-

The degree of compaction depends upon

In consolidation, time factor is defined as 

Time factor Tv is given by 

If consolidation factor is more than 60% the time factor is given by 

Which one of the following is not a correct statement about compaction and consolidation?

Compaction is due to

In sandy soil maximum density can reach when the soil is

Time required for 50% consolidation of a remoulded sample of clay with single drainage is t.
Hence, to consolidate same clay to the same degree of consolidation but with 3 times drainage is
