| description abstract | The deformation characteristics of soil subjected to vacuum pressure are discussed and an approximate method is proposed for calculating settlement and lateral displacement of the ground induced by vacuum consolidation. Laboratory oedometer test results indicate that if the vacuum pressure alone is larger than the lateral stress required to maintain an at-rest (no horizontal strain) condition, there will be inward lateral displacement and the vacuum pressure will induce generally less settlement than a surcharge load of the same magnitude. In the case of field vacuum consolidation, the confining stress acting on a soil element can be regarded as consisting of two parts: Due to vacuum pressure and earth pressure. Assuming a value of the lateral earth pressure coefficient acting in the ground under vacuum consolidation | |
