One dimensional normal consolidation line equation

Abstract Many empirical equations have been proposed in the past to predict parameters of one-dimensional normal consolidation line (1D-NCL) for soils. However, applications these are limited specific range pressure and plasticity General 1D-NCL large soils presented this study. It is assumed that has up three slopes start at different stresses depending on liquid limit (LL) The 59 a LL (19–520%) was used establish initial part 1D-NCL. were categorized based their into two groups: (i) < 110% (ii) > 110%. compared with previous equations. comparisons showed new better agreement tests results, especially highly plastic Moreover, verify verifications good between experimental predicted results.
