1 FUNDAMENTALS OF CONSOLIDATION σ (Vertical Stress Increase) SAND CLAY CONSOLIDATION: Volume change in saturated soils caused by the expulsion of pore water from loading. Saturated Soils: σ causes u to increase immediately SAND DEPTH after Figure 7.1a. Das FGE (2005). Sands: Pore pressure increase dissipates rapidly due to high permeability. Clays: Pore Pressure dissipates slowly due to low permeability. Slide 1 of 74
2 σ (Vertical Stress Increase) SOIL MECHANICS FUNDAMENTALS OF CONSOLIDATION At Time of Initial Loading (t 0) SAND CLAY SAND DEPTH after Figure 7.1a. Das FGE (2005). Variation in Total, Pore water, and Effective Stresses in Clay Layer Figure 7.1b. Das FGE (2005) Pore water takes initial change in vertical loading ( σ u) since water is incompressible Soil skeleton does not see initial loading Slide 2 of 74
3 FUNDAMENTALS OF CONSOLIDATION σ (Vertical Stress Increase) Between time t 0 to t SAND DEPTH CLAY SAND Variation in Total, Pore water, and Effective Stresses in Clay Layer Figure 7.1c. Das FGE (2005) Pore water increase due to initial loading dissipates after Figure 7.1a. Das FGE (2005). Soil skeleton takes loading as pore pressure decreases Slide 3 of 74

Variation in Total, Pore water, and Effective Stresses in Clay Layer Figure 7.1e. Das FGE (2005) Pore water increase due to initial loading completely dissipated ( u 0) Soil skeleton has taken loading. Effective stress increase now equals vertical stress increase ( σ 'σ) Slide 4 of 74

12 VOID RATIO-PRESSURE PLOTS Final e log σ plots consist of results of numerous load & unload increments Two Definitions of Clays based on Stress History: Normally Consolidated (NC): The present overburden pressure (a.k.a. effective in-situ stress) is the most the soil has ever seen. Overconsolidated Clay (OC): The present overburden pressure is less than the soil has experienced in the past. The maximum effective past pressure is called the preconsolidation pressure (σ c) or Maximum Past Pressure (σ vm ) Figure 7.7. Das FGE (2005). Slide 12 of 74
13 DETERMINATION OF MAXIMUM PAST PRESSURE (σ c or σ vm ) Figure 7.8. Das FGE (2005). Graphical Method (Casagrande, 1936) 1. Visually identify point of minimum radius of curvature on e-log σ curve (i.e. Point a). 2. Draw horizontal line from Point a (i.e. Line ab). 3. Draw Line ac tangent to Point a. 4. Draw Line ad bisecting Angle bac. 5. Project the straight line portion of gh on e-log σ curve to intersect Line ad. This intersection (Point f) is the maximum past pressure (a.k.a. preconsolidation pressure). Slide 13 of 74
