DETERMINATION METHOD OF CONSOLIDATION PARAMETERS FOR RECLAMATION ANALYSIS OF DREDGED CLAY

Abstract

 To propose the simple determination method for consolidation parameters of clays for the reclamation analysis, the results of Multi-Sedimentation Tests (MST) in Japan were collected, and the high correlation between liquid limits of clay and indexes of compressibility and rate of consolidation obtained from the MST’s were confirmed. Using these high corrections, the determination method of consolidation parameters was proposed. The effectiveness of proposed method was confirmed from the back-analysis for the construction record of Kita-Kyushu airport.
