Development in time of settlements in a watersaturated soil base having creep properties during its pre-construction compaction with drains

Abstract

Modern methods of calculating the subsidence of the "vertical drains - loading on the day surface of the water-saturated base" systems during the pre-construction compaction of the bases made of weak water-saturated soils do not allow taking into account such properties of the soils that make up the base, such as the anisotropy of filtration and deformation properties; irreversibility of deformations during loading and unloading of the foundation, and correspond to the stress-deformed state of the soil during compression. At the same time, the foundations of structures, including port ones, can be in a state of compression, as well as in a state of plane deformation and spatial deformation. The course of the theoretical study of ground subsidence was carried out in two stages.
