Analysis Of Time-Deflection Consolidation Data, E. Gregory Mcnulty
Analysis Of Time-Deflection Consolidation Data, E. Gregory Mcnulty
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
A computerized statistical curve-fitting algorithm has been developed for determining the time-dependent properties of conventional (load-incremental) consolidation test data. Analytical models of the graphical methods developed by Taylor and Casagrande and of the Naylor-Doran method of successive approximations determtne values for the coefficients of consolidation, permeability, and the values of deflection corresponding to the begimltng and endtng of primary consolidation. The coefficients of volume change and secondary compression are also calculated. A modified statistical definition is used to select the linear portions of the data curves and is applicable to other data-fitting problems. After the Naylor-Doran method has been used, …
Strain-Rate Selection In The Constant-Rate-Of-Strain Consolidation Test, C. Thomas Gorman
Strain-Rate Selection In The Constant-Rate-Of-Strain Consolidation Test, C. Thomas Gorman
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Constant-rate-of-strain (CRS) consolidation tests were performed on remolded kaolinite specimens. The effect of strain rate on CRS test data is shown. A relation between soil parameters and strain rate was developed and used to formulate a strain-rate selection procedure. The fmal selectlon procedure is based on liquid limit and initial degree of saturation of the specimen and is presented in graphical form. The procedure is applicable to all types of soils.
