Relationship between settlement-velocity and settlement of ground and its applications

Zhang Xiaohai

Abstract

Based on one dimensional consolidation theory and Voigt-Kelvin viscoelastic model, the performance of ground settlement at primary and secondary consolidation phases is investigated. Analysis results show that the relationship between settlement-velocity and settlement of ground is approximately linear. Based on this linear relationship a method is proposed, which provides an estimation of coefficient of consolidation and of the settlement components including immediate settlement, primary consolidation settlement and secondary consolidation settlement of the ground. An application of the method to a practical case is presented
