Closure to 'Effect of Layering on Total Consolidation Settlement of Normally Consolidated Clay in 1D Conditions' by Chan-Young Yune and Guney Olgun

摘要

The authors thank the discussers for their interesting discussion on the decrease of stress increment with depth in calculating consolidation settlement by layering under ID conditions. They extended the analytical solution in the original paper by adopting a k value to consider the decreasing rate of the stress increment linearly.
