$C_a/C_c$ for Soft Clay at the Southern Port of Korea by Laboratory Consolidation Tests
실내압밀시험에 의한 남해안지역 연약점토의 $C_a/C_c$ 평가
Abstract
Consolidation settlements on soft clay are often large and potentially damaging to structures. Currently, large-scale projects are in progress in Korea. These structures will be constructed on both thick and soft clay layers, and so the accurate evaluation of magnitude of settlement is required at every step in design and construction. Especially, secondary compression play an important role in consolidation settlements on soft clay. Generally, the magnitudes of secondary compression are evaluated by laboratory and in-situ consolidation tests or by empirical
