THE CONSOLIDATION OF NON-HOMOGENEOUS CLAY LAYERS. PART II. ANALYTICAL SOLUTIONS,

Abstract

The Terzaghi theory of consolidation assumes that the permeability and compressibility of the clay layer is constant throughout the process of compression. The theory and analyses developed in this series of reports allow for physical nonhomogeneities within the clay layer in the re spect that the compressibility and permeability may vary with depth. This report presents the details of the mathematical techniques necessary to achieve analytical solutions to the theory. (Author)
