Effect of Anisotropic Flow of Water on Consolidation Behaviour of Silty-Clay Soil

Abstract

Abstract-In the traditional method of determination of consolidation properties of soil based on oedometer test, it is assumed that the flow of water occurs in the vertical direction only. Radial flow of water is restrained in oedometer test. In this study an experimental setup is fabricated to measure consolidation properties of soil by considering different anisotropic flow of water through soil. In some of the practical cases we may not have radial flow of water throughout the radial directions and in those cases it is essential to consider anisotropic radial flow of water to predict consolidation characteristics of soil for consequent in-situ conditions. In this study an anisotropic flow of water has been considered at the time of experimental determination of consolidation characteristics of soil. From experimental results it is observed that the rate of extraction of water get increase when radial flow take under consideration and the anisotropic radial flow have an immense effect on the co-efficient of consolidation of soil.
