Answer:
The differences are listed below
Explanation:
The differences between consolidation and compaction are as follows:
In compaction the mechanical pressure is used to compress the soil. In consolidation, there is an application of stead pressure.
In compaction, there is a dynamic load by rapid mechanical methods like tamping, rolling, etc. In consolidation, there is static and sustained pressure applied for a long time.
In compaction, the soil volume is reduced by removing air from the void. In consolidation, the soil volume is reduced by squeezing out water from the pores.
Compaction is used for sandy soil, consolidation on the other hand, is used for clay soil.
Answer:
The pressure drop is 269.7N/m^2
Explanation:
∆P = ∆h × rho × g
∆h = 3.2cm = 3.2/100 = 0.032m, rho = 860kg/m^3, g = 9.8m/s^2
∆P = 0.032×860×9.8 = 269.7N/m^2
