A clean sandstone core sample with diameter of 3.8 cm and length of 5.6 cm is saturated with a brine. The core was desaturated in several steps, and the resistance was measured at each saturation. The results are as follows: Water Saturation (Fraction) Resistance (kS) 1.000 1.302 0.900 1.695 0.800 2.283 0.730 2.878 0.640 3.775 0.560 5.637 0.480 7.838 0.375 13.175 0.350 17.050 0.300 26 Brine resistivity= 0.74 2m Archie coefficient 1.03 Cementation factor= 2.2147 (1) Estimate the rock porosity.

A 3 m thick stratum (drained in two directions) of saturated Clay and under overburden, exhibited 90% primary consolidation in 75 days. Find the coefficient of consolidation of the clay for the pressure range. a) Take a 30 mm thick specimen, how long will it take for it to show 80% consolidation in the laboratory for a similar length of pressure, consider a two-way drain? b) If the specimen is 25 mm, time to reach 60% consolidation, with drainage in one direction?
can you briefly answer
Describe the strength values for consistency of clay such as hard, very stiff and medium.
I need the answer as soon as possible
A stratum of sand and a stratum of clay have the same thickness of 3 m. The coefficient of compressibility of sand is one fifth of coefficient of compressibility of clay and the permeability of sand is 10,000 times that of the clay. Assuming the same initial void ratio the ratio of the consolidation time for the clay to that of the sand for same degree of consolidation is
