constant rate of strain (crs) consolidation is a rapid test method used for determination of compressibility of clayey soils. in a crs test, the appropriate strain rate is selected based on pore water pressure ratio, i.e. the ratio of pore pressure to total stress. in the present study, to investigate the effect of strain rate on variation of relative pore water pressure, four different clay sa...

Pore pressureis defined as the pressure of the fluid inside the pore space of the formation, which is also known as the formation pressure. When the pore pressure is higher than hydrostatic pressure, it is referred to as overpressure. Knowledge of this pressure is essential for cost-effective drilling, safe well planning, and efficient reservoir modeling. The main objective of this study is to ...

tunnelling through cities underlain by soft soil, commonly associated with soil movement around the tunnels and subsequent surface settlement. the predication of ground movement during the tunnelling and optimum support pressure could be based on analytical, empirical or the numerical methods. the commonly used earth pressure balance (epb) tunneling machines, uses the excavated soil in a pressu...

This study investigates the effect of shield tunnel grouting on excess pore pressure distributions around and ground consolidation settlement. First, it presents half-plane an unlined caused by based complex variable theory conformal mapping method. Second, analytical solution for soil is derived using transformation method Terzaghi–Rendulic. The drainage conditions lining are idealized into th...

mixed clayey soils occur as mixtures of sand (or gravel) and clay in widely varying proportions. their engineering behavior has not been comprehensively studied yet. an experimental program, comprising monotonic, cyclic, and post-cyclic triaxial tests was undertaken on compacted clay-granular material mixtures, having different proportions of clay and sand or gravel. this paper presents the res...

The purpose of this work is to look at how soil heterogeneity and pore water pressure impact shield inclined tunnel excavation face stability as burial depth varies. calculation model was established, the supporting maintain solved via upper bound method. results showed that coefficient had substantial effects on pressure. location failure range under varied were presented. In addition, boundar...

abstract at present study constant rate of strain (crs) consolidation under non-darcy condition was investigated. in this study a governing conditions of drainage pore water were investigated using proposed equation. the crs experiments under different rates of strain were conducted on different soil samples. results these experiments and there comparison with proposed equation showed that flow...
