Description

In order to predict the consolidation constants for very soft soils with high water contents, the constant rate of strain consolidation test method has been proposed together with a new interpretation of the test results. Three kinds of diagrams are constructed on the basis of the finite difference solutions for the basic equation of consolidation including the large strain effects. It has been found that using such diagrams, the consolidation constants of very soft clays in the pressure range required for practice can be accurately determined from consolidation tests under constant rates of strain.
