On Elasto-Plastic Consolidation Settlement of Saturated Soft Clay[J]. Journal of Civil and Environmental Engineering, 2005, 27(2): 51-55. DOI: 10.11835/j.issn.1674-4764.2005.02.012.
The specific properties of soft clay are characterized by higher void ratio
lower permeability and higher compressibility
the consolidation settlement of soft clay is affected by the imposed stress history
the stress paths
the consolidation pressure and the soil properties. In this paper
the porous media theory based on the mixture theory was applied in the study on the consolidation settlement of soft clay
which was more rigorous than the conventional consolidation settlement theory and the coupling between soil and water can be taken into account in the analysis.
