Prediction of Consolidation Properties of Partially Saturated Clays
Consolidation properties of soil are essential for prediction of the deformation characteristics, determination of which involves considerable time, cost, and rigorous testing process. Further, natural state of saturation is not simulated and thus for partially saturated soils the standard odometer test gives misleading results of the evaluated consolidation parameters particularly the overcons...
متن کاملImprovement of soft clays using vacuum-assisted consolidation method
In this study, the analytical modeling of one-dimensional consolidation by vertical drains with vacuum preloading considering both vertical and horizontal drainage is presented. In this method, the total degree of consolidation based on excess pore water pressure dissipation is related to the time factor (Th), drain configuration and anisotropic soil permeability. The analytical predictions are...
متن کاملa numerical approach for one dimensional thermal consolidation of clays
in saturated soils, heating induces thermal expansion of both grains and the pore fluid. lower thermal expansion coefficient of aggregates results in the increase of pore pressure and reduction of the effective stress besides subsequent volume changes due to the dissipation of pore pressure and heat transfer. dissipation of thermally induced pore pressure with time is a coupled thermo-hydro-mec...
متن کاملOne Dimensional Non-linear Consolidation of Unsaturated Fine Grained Soils
In the content of this study, non-linear consolidation behavior of unsaturated soils was investigated. In this respect a non linear differential equation for consolidation has been proposed. This proposed differential equation and its solutions enlighten both the diffusive characteristics and the time rate of settlement of soils. Besides, this study also enables to perform the matric suction ca...
متن کاملA large-strain radial consolidation theory for soft clays improved by vertical drains
A system of vertical drains with combined vacuum and surcharge preloading is an effective solution for promoting radial flow, accelerating consolidation. However, when a mixture of soil and water is deposited at a low initial density, a significant amount of deformation or surface settlement occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce large-strain theory, which has been widely used to manag...
