Consolidate Fax Settlement For Free

H = Thickness of the field consolidating stratum at the end of primary consolidation. Commonly initial thickness is used unless the primary consolidation is very large. Say more than 10% of initial thickness. t2 = t100 (f) + ?t = time for which secondary settlement is to be calculated.

Consolidation settlement is time dependent natural process of fully saturated soil due to expulsion of water from the voids and compaction is instantaneous artificial process of partially saturated soil due to expulsion of air from voids.

Coefficient of consolidation. The Coefficient of consolidation at each pressures increment is calculated by using the following equations : Cv = 0.197 d2/t50 (Log fitting method) Cv = 0.848 d2/t90 (Square fitting method)

Consolidation can be accelerated by installing vertical drains to a depth of up to 35 meters, shortening its settlement rate from several years to several months.

The ultimate consolidation settlement of a structure resting on a soil decreases with the increase in the initial voids ratio. Decreases with the decrease in the plastic limit. Increases with the increase in the initial voids ratio. Increases with the decrease in the porosity of the soil.

It is the process by which the volume of soil is decreased by removal of water from the pore of the soil mass. When the saturated soil layer is subjected to increasing stress, the hydrostatic stress suddenly increases.

The primary consolidation settlement can be calculated from the coefficient of volume compressibility mv, which can further lead to the Young's modulus E? = (1 + v?)(1 ? 2v?)/[mv(1 ? v?)], with an assumed Poisson's ratio v?.

Deformation parameters: Assessment of primary and secondary consolidation settlement. The primary consolidation settlement can be calculated from the coefficient of volume compressibility mv, which can further lead to the Young's modulus E? = (1 + v?)(1 ? 2v?)/[mv(1 ? v?)], with an assumed Poisson's ratio v?.
