[1] Two borehole penetrometers, Fugro-McClelland’s Piezoprobe and the Ocean Drilling Program’s (ODP) DVTPP, were deployed 50 m below seafloor at Site 1244 on ODP Leg 204 to measure formation pressure at southern Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon. Pore pressure is interpreted to be hydrostatic and the sediment’s coefficient of consolidation is interpreted to lie between 6.92 and 7.8 10 7 m/s, which...

In this paper, the free strain radial consolidation theory incorporating the changes of compressibility and permeability of the soil with the change in effective stress via time dependent surcharge preloading is presented. In contrast to the conventional analysis, the current study highlights the nonlinear characteristics of the soil during the consolidation process. A comparison of the nonline...

It is essential to know the rate of compression of clay for design purposes. Determination of the value of coefficient of consolidation cv which gives the rate at which compression of soil layer takes place can be done by conducting routine one-dimensional consolidation tests. Since this test is time consuming, it is desirable to predict the value of cv by correlating with some simple index pro...

geotechnical investigations of waste fills are rarely undertaken, and consequently the geotechnical community has little knowledge of their engineering properties. in this study, a geotechnical testing program was conducted to evaluate the engineering properties of old municipal solid waste sampled in whamyung msw landfill site, busan, korea. the conducted tests included water content, specific...

growing evidence suggests that serotonin plays an important role in learning and memory and all its receptors might be implicated in this process. the present study aimed at investigating and comparing the possible involvement of 5-ht 3 and 5-ht 4 receptor (r) agonists/antagonists upon consolidation of inhibitory avoidance memory in the pre-limbic (pl) area. bilateral intra-pl microinjections o...

Vertical drains and stone columns which have been used in infrastructure construction for highways, ports, coastal regions, etc., provide significant benefits for improving soil characteristics such as reducing the drainage length and accelerating the consolidation process. So the investigation of the radial consolidation is inevitable. Soils may be subjected to cyclic loading such as silos, ta...
