| description | The multiple-stage loading with reloading at EOP tests were carried out on two high-plasticity remoulded clays. One percentage of the initial value of an excess pore water pressure has been adopted as a reference for the end of the primary consolidation criterion. Based on the measurements of the settlement with time, six methods were used for determining the EOP parameters. For all studied consolidation curves, the primary consolidation time determined by settlement data was always smaller than those specified by dissipation data. All analysed cases have observed the lack of complete dissipation at the primary consolidation time determined by settlement data. The magnitude of remaining pore pressure at the primary consolidation time determined by various methods and the degree of additional settlement induced by remaining pore pressure at the primary consolidation time indicate an underestimation of EOP parameters when the interpretation of the test is based only on the analysis of sample settlement. Based on the average degree of consolidation imposed by the excess pore water pressure dissipation at primary consolidation time, the most similar time values at EOP to that determined using the excess pore water pressure dissipation criterion were obtained using the SRS, Casagrande and Slope methods. |
