Assessment of Shallow Foundation Settlement by Using a Presently Developed 3-D Consolidation Apparatus
Coefficient of consolidation evaluated by different methods by considering different drainage conditions in the same soil could be quite different. Simulating field drainage conditions at the laboratory consolidation test may help to predict more accurate rate of consolidation. For conducting three-dimensional (3-D) consolidation tests, a 3-D consolidation apparatus is developed in which it is possible to perform consolidation test of soil samples under three-dimensional conditions. By using this apparatus, it is possible to simulate field conditions like pore water dissipation, and vertical and lateral strain of soil during the consolidation settlement. A comparison is established between oedometer test results and presently developed 3-D consolidation test results. By evaluating these test results, it is observed that the settlement characteristics measured by using the presently developed 3-D consolidation apparatus are more representative to the actual consolidation settlement in the field.
