    Question

    All the following are the assumptions made in Terzaghi’s theory of consolidation EXCEPT:

    A.

    The coefficient of permeability of soil varies at all points during the entire period of consolidation

    B.

    The soil is fully saturated

    C.

    The soil is homogeneous and isotropic

    D.

    Darcy’s law is valid throughout the consolidation process

    Correct option is A


    → The following were the assumptions made in Terzaghi's theory of consolidation.
    The soil is fully saturated
    The soil is homogenous and isotropic
    Darcy’s law is valid
    The coefficient of permeability is constant.
    So, the option (a) is wrong.
    The boundary is free surface.
    Soil particle and water are incompressible
