Determination of soil properties from field observations of settlement
Abstract
Field observations of settlement beneath the ground surface, caused by a load such as a building, are proposed as a means of determination of moduli and coefficients of consolidation when the soil is sensitive to disturbance. Planning a test, insturmentation and analysis of measurements are discussed.
