A Realistic Theory of Soils Consolidation
The consolidation behavior of soils is usually predicted by making use of the conventional theory of consolidation proposed by Terzaghi. Laboratory observations of the consolidation behavior exhibit discrepancies between the theory and the results. These discrepancies are usually attributed to the secondary effects that occur during primary consolidation. On the other hand, Terzaghi's theory presupposes the constancy of the permeability and compressibility of the soil. In this study, the effect of variable permeability and compressibility on the consolidation behavior is investigated. For this objective, a mathematical treatment of the behavior is presented. Subsequently, laboratory consolidations tests with mid plane pore pressure measurements are conducted on soft, remolded, preconcolidated and undistributed samples of Tabriz clay. The test results, when compared with the theoretical findings, indicate that most of inherent discrepancies may be explained via the use of the theory developed in this study.
