Table T1 summarizes the effective stress and estimated porosity and permeability at each consolidation step as well as the sample’s grain size distribution. Measured vertical permeabilities vary from 2.1 × 10–16 to 1.1 × 10–14 m2. The lower permeabilities represent sediments rich in clay-sized particles, whereas the higher permeabilities represent sediments rich in silt-sized particles.
