Abstract:Two-soil-layer deposits are sometimes encountered in engineering practice. To accurately assess the consolidation condition of a two-soil-layer deposit, it is necessary to fairly estimate both the settlement-and excess pore water pressure-defined average degrees of consolidation of the system. In this study, the consolidation behavior of a two-soil-layer deposit is first experimentally and numerically investigated, and the results show that the average degree of consolidation defined by the excess pore water p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
