Abstract |
The effective preconsolidation stress (s'psp') of clay is classically determined from one-dimensional consolidation tests on undisturbed samples but a first-order approximate value can be estimated from its plasticity and water content characteristics. In this paper, initially a twofold simple empirical model for predicting s'psp' that bifurcates at an overconsolidation ratio (OCR) of 3 is developed...
