One-Dimensional Consolidation of Soft Ground with Impeded Boundaries Under Depth-Dependent Ramp Load
Publication: Pavement and Geotechnical Engineering for Transportation
Abstract
In this paper, the one-dimensional consolidation of soft ground is studied with impeded boundaries under a depth-dependent ramp load. First, an analytical solution is obtained by using the method of separation of variables and orthogonal relations of the infinite series. A computational program is then developed according to the analytical solution. Lastly, examples are analyzed using the developed computational program. The one-dimensional consolidation can be treated as a completely drained boundary when the impeded parameter is greater than 100 and is not affected by the load duration. The effects of impeded boundaries on the average degree of consolidation depend on the variation of the total stress increments
