Piezoprobe Determined Coefficient of Consolidation

Coefficient of Consolidation by Inflection Point Method

The coefficient of consolidation in the Terzaghi theory of consolidation has been commonly determined by fitting the theory to observed compression with time in an incremental loading oedometer test. The Terzaghi theory is applicable to compression and swelling. A similar coefficient governed by horizontal permeability is used in the Barron formulation of consolidation with vertical drains. The...

Interpreting in situ pressure and hydraulic properties with borehole penetrometers in ocean drilling: DVTPP and Piezoprobe deployments at southern Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon

[1] Two borehole penetrometers, Fugro-McClelland’s Piezoprobe and the Ocean Drilling Program’s (ODP) DVTPP, were deployed 50 m below seafloor at Site 1244 on ODP Leg 204 to measure formation pressure at southern Hydrate Ridge, offshore Oregon. Pore pressure is interpreted to be hydrostatic and the sediment’s coefficient of consolidation is interpreted to lie between 6.92 and 7.8 10 7 m/s, which...

Coefficient of Consolidation and its Correlation with Index Properties of Remolded Soils

Knowledge of the rate at which the compression of the soil layer takes place is essential from design considerations. This can be achieved by determining the value of the coefficient of consolidation, cv . To obtain cv , it is essential to conduct a routine one-dimensional consolidation test. With the obtained time-compression data, and using any one of the several available curve-fitting proce...
