Secondary Compression in Embankment Foundations
Long Term settlements of highway embankments due to secondary compression in compressible foundation soils are investigated. Laboratory consolidation tests are performed and field settlement data are reviewed. In the laboratory investigation, it is found that the rate of secondary compression is independent of void ratio or pressure-increment ratio in a normally consolidated clay and is greatly reduced in an over-consolidated clay. Modified theories of consolidation considering both primary and secondary compressions are studied for their applicability in settlement analysis. (Author)
