Predicting the time rate of consolidation is one of the major aspects of structure design,
founded on compressible fine-grained soil. The time to achieve the required advancement of …

The SRS method explicitly relates the coefficient of consolidation cv and end of primary
(EOP) settlement δp to the intercept and slope of the linear section of the observed dδt/dt–δt …

One of the assumptions of the standard consolidation theory used in soil mechanics is that
the coefficient of consolidation is a material property that remains constant during the …

Soil water migration is a significant factor in the development of subgrade ice layers in
permafrost areas. The prediction of moisture inflow to the freezing zone is an important …

The coefficient of consolidation (cv) is traditionally determined by fitting observed settlement–
time data to the theoretical average degree of consolidation versus time factor relationship …

Over the last 50 years, data from laboratory tests and post-earthquake reconnaissance have
been used to gain knowledge about the dynamic and seismic behavior of geotechnical …

Approximate but accurate, simple invertible equations for the consolidation curves under
triangular excess pore-water pressures are developed. These approximations can be used …

The slope method explicitly relates the coefficient of consolidation cv to the slope of the
initial linear segment of the observed δ tt curve and to the end of primary settlement δ p. The …

The magnitude of consolidation settlement is often calculated using Terzaghi's expression
for average degree of consolidation (U) with respect to time. Developed during a time of …

Accurate prediction of the rate of consolidation settlement is dependent upon a reliable
method of determining the coefficient of consolidation (cv) and the time to end of primary …
