INFLUENCE OF SUBJECTIVITY IN DETERMINING PLASTICITY PARAMETERS IN CLAY SOIL ON THE CALCULATED SETTLEMENT OF A STRUCTURE BED

摘要

The influence of subjectivity in determining plasticity parameters for overconsolidated clay soil on the settlement of structure beds is estimated. An elastic-plastic model of soil with isotropic hardening (PLAXIS Hardening Soil) was used to calculate settlement. It was shown that subjectivity in determining the plasticity may result in a bed settlement value that is different by 10.5%-22.0%
