Saturation of clays
Saturation of clays
(OP)
Hi,
Just a quick question: from what percentage of saturation do you consider total saturation of clays? Also, at what percentage, clays can be considered partially saturated? For consolidation settlement analysis, could you use the 1-D Terzaghi equation, although the clays are partially saturated?
Thanks !

RE: Saturation of clays
I would have thought you could get consolidation settlement and apply the 1D Terzhagi equation for a partially saturated clay.
