Consider the following statements:
1. Mathematically speaking, the time taken for 100% consolidation is infinite.
2. The time factor for a particular average degree of consolidation depends upon the
distribution of initial excess hydrostatic pressure.
3. Secondary consolidation obeys Terzaghi’s one-dimensional theory of consolidation.
Which of these statements are correct?
(a) 1, 2 & 3 (b) 1 & 2 only (c) 2 & 3 only (d) 1 & 3 only
