RISCoupled Large Deformation and Contaminant Transport in Low-Permeability Clay Layers: Role of Threshold Hydraulic Gradient
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: AbstractNatural low-permeability clay is usually used as underlying layers at dredged sludge
disposal sites. Both laboratory and field measurements of clay settlement revealed
the existence of a threshold hydraulic gradient ...
Large-Strain Consolidation Model for Soft Soils Treated with Air-Boosted Vacuum Preloading: Analytical and Numerical Solutions
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Abstract As an emerging soft soil improvement technology, air-boosted vacuum preloading accelerates
consolidation by enhancing the horizontal pressure differential between vertical drains
and surrounding soils. Studies ...
Approximate Analytical Solutions for One-Dimensional Consolidation of a Clay Layer with Variable Compressibility and Permeability under a Ramp Loading
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: There are no analytical solutions concerning the consolidation of a clay layer subjected to a ramp load with consideration of the variation of the consolidation coefficient and the nonlinearity of compressibility and ...
