The disturbance of the soil sample used in the laboratory changes the structure of soil. Therefore the field consolidation curve is
steeper than laboratory curve for clay. The remoulding of clay further reduces the compressibility and thus curve has leastSubham

Q. 38

BOOKMARKS Assertion (A): When a saturated soil mass is subjected to consolidation, its volume at any instant is related to the total stress.
Reason (R): Total stress is equal to the sum of the effective stress and pore water pressure.

Solution :
(d)
Volume of saturated soil sample at any time = (Initial thickness – settlement) × Area of sample. The volume is related to strain directly.
The settlement depends on change in effective stress and not on the change in total stress.
