Prediction of settlements and pore pressures beneath highway embankment at New Liskeard, Ontario

Raymond, G.P. / Hilts, D.E.

Pore pressures are calculated in each stage of construction according to theories by K.Terzaghi, A.W.Skempton and L.Bjerrum, and D.J.Henkel 's corrections; instrumentation installed in foundation clay to record actual settlements and excess pore water pressures; laboratory test results are tabulated and from these results it is suggested that settlement below center line during stage I should be about 5 ft; results indicate that average ratio of coefficient of consolidation in lateral and vertical direction is about 2.2; this value was used to estimate rate of consolidation settlement for stage I.
