The Consolidation State of Red Clay Determined by Cone Penetration Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is of significance to determinate the consolidation state of soil for evaluation of deformation and strength of foundation soil. The consolidation state of red clay is determined through laboratory experiments combined with static cone penetration tests. The results show that the law of consolidation history of red clay is opposite to other soils. The static point resistance obtained from cone penetration test decreases linearly with soil depth increasing. The over-consolidate rate of different soil layer gotten by laboratory experiments also decreases linearly with soil depth increasing. The slopes of two linear regress curves are similar. The change of static point resistance can be used to estimate over-consolidate rate of red clay at different depth.
