| Abstract | The effects of different loading conditions on the pore
pressure development, the rate of pore pressure dissipation and
the deformation characteristics of Soft Bangkok Clay were
studied during one-dimensional consolidation. It was found that
the rate of pore pressure dissipation was a function of load increment duration as well as load increment ratio. The rates of primary and secondary compression were closely related to the rate of pore pressure dissipation.
A comparison is presented of predicted and measured values
of pore pressure; considerable deviations exist from the pore
pressures predicted by Terzaghi’s theory, the observed rates of pore pressure dissipation being reasonably close to Terzaghi’s theoretical values only for large load increment ratios. The theory of DAVIS and RAYMOND (1965) does not predict the pore
pressures well under almost any conditions. An attempt is made to evaluate the coefficient of primary consolidation from pore pressure dissipation; this is found to be a useful technique where a Type III compression curve is obtained. |
