Reliability of the Method for Determination of Coefficient of Consolidation (cv)

Many curve-fitting procedures based on the Terzaghi uncoupled consolidation theory have been proposed for determination of the laboratory coefficient of primary consolidation (cv). Six available methods are used in this study to evaluate the coefficient of consolidation for an expansive clay soil in...
