Book excerpt: In 1958 an extension to the terzaghi theory of consolidation of fine-grained soil was presented. This new theory established the basis for considering variable loading during the consolidation process as an external condition. In addition the theory included mathematical procedures for analyzing the permeability variation of the soil during the process of consolidation. The present paper presents computed results of the extended consolidation theory, to enable soil engineers to use these theories in practice.

This book was released on 1985 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents the development of a mathematical model of the consolidation/desiccation process in soft, fine-grained soils such as dredged material; provides for computer solution of the model; and verifies the solution through comparisons with field measurements. The consolidation process is modeled through the previously documented finite strain theory of consolidation which accounts for the large strains and nonlinear soil properties inherent in the very soft materials commonly found in maintenance dredgings. Pertinent equations necessary for process calculation are given. The mathematical model is next rewritten for computer solution through the computer program PCDDF. The model and computer solution are then tested through comparisons of predicted material settlements with measured settlements in three confined disposal areas. Appendices to the report include a detailed user's manual (Appendix A) for computer program PCDDF along with a program listing (Appendix B) and sample input and output data (Appendix C). Consolidation properties (Appendix D) and the design of a comprehensive field verification site (Appendix E) are also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the research undertaken are to provide a theory of consolidation of fine-grained soils of sufficient generality to enable predictions to be made in engineering situations where the sediment is so soft that allowance must be made for changes in material properties during the progress of consolidation, where large strains and displacements must occur, account being taken of pore water flow in two or three dimensions. The study is proceeding in two Stages. The first Stage involves a critical examination of presently available theories of consolidation which are modified and extended to meet the objectives of the research. The aim in Stage I is to develop mathematical equations governing the consolidation process based on physical assumptions which accord with the known behaviour of soft sediments. In Stage II numerical procedures and associated algorithms will be considered based on the analysis which would permit prediction of the distribution and time variation within the medium of quantities of engineering interest, namely: the pore water pressure, the effective stresses and the void ratio. This may not be straightforward and analytical modifications to the Stage I equations may be needed to secure computable results which can be generated economically and efficiently. This first Interim Report is devoted to a synoptic account of the progress achieved in Stage I.

Download or read book Consolidation Analyses of Soils written by Jian-Hua Yin and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When stresses are applied to saturated soil, deformation will occur as water in voids is squeezed out. Consolidation Analyses of Soils focuses on the consolidation of fully saturated soils. The book follows a classic approach by beginning with one-dimensional constitutive relations of soils and one-dimensional consolidation. It then moves on to analytical solutions to several one-dimensional consolidation problems and one-dimensional finite strain consolidation. The authors also present a finite element method for consolidation analysis of one-dimensional problems, analytical solutions to consolidation of soil with vertical drains, and a finite difference method for consolidation analysis of one-dimensional problems. Simplified methods for consolidation analysis of soils exhibiting creep are introduced and applied to different cases. Three-dimensional consolidation equations and solutions of typical three-dimensional consolidation problems are covered, as well as simplified finite element consolidation analysis of soils with vertical drain and finite element method for three-dimensional consolidation problems. The book is unique in that it covers both classic solutions and state-of-the-art work in consolidation analyses of soils. Authors Jian-Hua Yin is Chair Professor of Soil Mechanics in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Guofu Zhu is a Professor in the Department of Engineering Structures and Mechanics at Wuhan University of Technology, China.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report documents studies refining the procedures for calculation of one-dimensional consolidation behavior of very soft fine-grained dredged material. Both the conventional small strain theory of consolidation, which requires linear or constant soil properties, and the more general finite strain theory, which provides for nonlinear soil properties, are presented. Implications of the simplifying assumptions necessary in practical application of the theories are discussed and the general finite strain theory is shown to be superior for the treatment of dredged material. The governing equations for both theories are written in nondimensional terms and appropriate boundary and initial conditions are specified. Solutions in terms of figures relating the percent consolidation to the nondimensional time factor for small strain theory have been previously published. However, similar solutions based on the finite strain theory were not available and thus had to be developed. Using a computer program, a linearized nondimensional form of the general finite strain governing equation was solved for the cases of singly/doubly drained normally consolidated clays, and singly/doubly drained dredged fill. The figures given represent a significant advancement in the ability to accurately predict the consolidation behavior of thick deposits of very soft fine-grained materials having nonlinear soil properties. A method of obtaining soil parameters necessary for use of the new solution charts is proposed. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling and computing is becoming an essential part of the analysis and design of an engineered system. This is also true of "geotechnical systems", such as soil foundations, earth dams and other soil-structure systems. The general goal of modeling and computing is to predict and understand the behaviour of the system subjected to a variety of possible conditions/scenarios (with respect to both external stimuli and system parameters), which provides the basis for a rational design of the system. The essence of this is to predict the response of the system to a set of external forces. The modelling and computing essentially involve the following three phases: (a) Idealization of the actual physical problem, (b) Formulation of a mathematical model represented by a set of equations governing the response of the system, and (c) Solution of the governing equations (often requiring numerical methods) and graphical representation of the numerical results. This book will introduce these phases. MATLAB® codes and MAPLE® worksheets are available for those who have bought the book. Please contact the author at [email protected] or [email protected].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes, defines, and contextualizes multiphysics with an emphasis on porous materials. It covers various essential aspects of multiphysics, from history, definition, and scope to mathematical theories, physical mechanisms, and numerical implementations. The emphasis on porous materials maximizes readers’ understanding as these substances are abundant in nature and a common breeding ground of multiphysical phenomena, especially complicated multiphysics. Dr. Liu’s lucid and easy-to-follow presentation serve as a blueprint on the use of multiphysics as a leading edge technique for computer modeling. The contents are organized to facilitate the transition from familiar, monolithic physics such as heat transfer and pore water movement to state-of-the-art applications involving multiphysics, including poroelasticity, thermohydro-mechanical processes, electrokinetics, electromagnetics, fluid dynamics, fluid structure interaction, and electromagnetomechanics. This volume serves as both a general reference and specific treatise for various scientific and engineering disciplines involving multiphysics simulation and porous materials.
