Title: Extending the Theory for the Primary Consolidation of Soils
Authors: Hwang, Chih Tsung
Advisor: Wilson, Nyal E.
Department: Civil Engineering
Keywords: Terzaghi Theory;permeability;void ratio;effective pressure;soils;consolidation
Publication Date: Sep-1966
Abstract: The classical Terzaghi Theory was extended by accounting for the variations of permeability during consolidation. With the aid of X-ray techniques, investigations on the significance of the variation of permeability, as well as the variations of void ratio and effective pressure, were conducted. Effects of the conventional consolidometer boundary on consolidation testing were studied.
