![]() We also showed that, for a homogeneous layer, Where E is the modulus of elasticity and is a factor based on Poisson’s Ratio and includes the effects of confinement, be that in an odeometer or in a semi-infinite soil mass. We were able to start with the theory of elasticity and, considering the effects of lateral confinement, define the coefficient of volume compression by In the post From Elasticity to Consolidation Settlement: Resolving the Issue of Jean-Louis Briaud’s “Pet Peeve”, we discussed the issue of how much soils (especially cohesive ones) settle through the rearrangement of particles. ![]() Note: the material for this derivation and those that preceded it have come from Tsytovich with some assistance from Verruijt. ![]() We need to start by a brief summary of what has gone before. This is the last (hopefully) post in a series on consolidation settlement.
