According to the onedimensional Terzaghis consolidation theory
the relationship between the consolidation coefficient and time is deduced based on a genetic algorithm (GA)
which could be used to propose a new method for evaluating the analytical solution of the consolidation coefficient. This new method avoids the disadvantages of graphical methods and eliminates the influence of initial settlement and secondary consolidation. Simulation software can be used to process the original data based on the GA principle. Compared with other traditional methods
the new method can determine the consolidation coefficient in practice with high accuracy
reliability and convenience. In addition
the GA can diminish jamming and produce a precise result.
