Calculation of Consolidation Coefficient and Percent Consolidation from Measured Pore Water Pressure of Soft Clay

Article Preview

Abstract:

Consolidation coefficient and percent consolidation of soft clay were calculated according to the measured pore water pressure of a project in Pudong Shanghai. Calculated coefficient of consolidation was one magnitude larger than the experimental one. This was in conformity with the actual consolidation process of dynamically-consolidated soft soil.
