    Stresses in a buried pipe

    This might more belong to the structure section, but I guess it's quite common in geotechnics. I want to calculate the stresses induced in a thin-walled buried pipe. I am using the usual formula for the hoop stress (see the link): sigma=P*R/t Also I'm using the vertical total stress for P, as...

    Variation of the coefficient of consolidation with time

    Hello everybody, Does anyone know anything about the variation of the coefficient of consolidation (Cv) with time (i.e. as consolidation is going on)? My goal is to obtain a rough estimate of Cv when the consolidation process began, knowing its present value. Has any study been performed on...
