Pre-Consolidation Pressure Provides Valuable Information About Soil Behavior And, Specifically, Settlement under an Induced Load. Soil is Expected to Have Less Settlement Before its Pre-Consolidation Pressure and Much More Settlement after that Point. the Pre-Consolidation Pressure and the Compressibility of the Soil Can Be Determined from the Results of a One-Dimensional Consolidation Test. Different Methods Have Been Developed to Obtain the Accurate Pre-Consolidation Pressure from One Dimensional Consolidation Test Data. This Paper Presents and Discusses the Results of the One-Dimensional Consolidation Test Data from an Extensive Testing Program. the Test Specimens Used Were Obtained from Multiple Borehole Locations and Were …

Description of the Spatial Variation of Compositional and Mechanical Soil Parameters is Often Paramount in Site Characterization of Geotechnical Design and Analysis. the Values of the Parameters Themselves Largely Depend on In-Situ State Factors Which Are Related to Spatial Locations. Also, for Large-Scale Engineering Projects Such as Earth Dams or Highways, It is Generally Expected that Heterogeneous Site Characteristics Will Be Revealed by Investigations at Spatially Distant Locations. Currently, Most Reliability-Based Design Methods Are based on the Second-Moment Statistics (Mean and Variance). However, They Are Unable to Adequately Describe the Spatial Variation of Soil Properties. in This Paper, Spatial Correlation …
