A STUDY ON LONG-TERM CONSOLIDATION OF UNDISTURBED SATURATED CLAY

摘要

The secondary compression of undisturbed saturated clay has been attacked triaxially and by standard consolidation test, and it has been found that the variation in void ratio is in proportion with the logarithm of time, though there is a slight undulation on the curve when the specimen is thinner. Also it has been indicated that a larger percentage of secondary compression takes place for thinner specimen.
