Abstract: A consolidating clay layer can be singly or doubly drained. The degree of consolidation is a function of the initial excess pore pressure distribution and the drainage conditions. Traditional geotechnical engineering ...

Abstract: Terzaghi’s one-dimensional consolidation theory is extended to constant rate of loading, where a simple expression relating average degree of consolidation and time factor is derived. This expression is used to assess ...

Abstract: The magnitude of consolidation settlement is often calculated using Terzaghi’s expression for average degree of consolidation (

Abstract: Although the consolidation settlements beneath foundations and embankments are rarely one dimensional, Terzaghi’s one-dimensional consolidation theory is often applied to these situations to approximate consolidation ...
