A simple solution procedure is presented to obtain readily the transient response of saturated soil layers under one-dimensional conditions, when general pore pressure variations with time occur at the boundary. This procedure makes use of some analytical expressions derived in this study in conjunction with the Fourier series. The solution is used to analyse the experimental results from laboratory tests and field measurements concerning pore pressure and settlement rate, with the objective of evaluating representative values of the coefficient of swelling/ consolidation of the soil.

Abstract

A simple solution procedure is presented to obtain readily the transient response of saturated soil layers under one-dimensional conditions, when general pore pressure variations with time occur at the boundary. This procedure makes use of some analytical expressions derived in this study in conjunction with the Fourier series. The solution is used to analyse the experimental results from laboratory tests and field measurements concerning pore pressure and settlement rate, with the objective of evaluating representative values of the coefficient of swelling/ consolidation of the soil.
