Hello,
I recently came across a formula giving an average value of the coefficient of consolidation from representative values for different layers. Unfortunately I cannot remember where I saw this. Does anyone know something about this formula?
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...
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...
