Hi BigH,
What is the difference between using Mv and using Cc for settlement analysis?
Could you point me in the right direction for a good understanding on the analysis? Thanks.
Thanks both,
With regards to the amount of data points, is it normal to only have five pressures?
Thought this was standard - would you suggest testing more points?
Sample depth was at 1.00 m bgl.
Apologies if I didn't make it clear, what I am trying to say is how would I select the...
Thanks for the reply EireChch,
Results:
If using say around 40 kPa for a lightly loaded structure (0.25 m2/MN) - this would return a rather high result.
Although when using a heavier structure at (0.16 M2/MN) would return a lower settlement result.
Would you propose to schedule tests a...
Hi all,
Just trying to clarify something.
As the title suggests I am attempting to derive a characteristic Mv value for a cohesive soil using the oedometer test.
I have read online, people sometimes average given Mv values for all incremental pressures and take an average.
This seems way...
