Can anyone tell me how to calculate predicted settlement from oedometer tests (e log p curve). I know how to calculate the collapse with the formula((eo-e1)/1+eo)*100. But dont know how to arrive at total settlement.
From a consolidation test find, the e log p curve, you need to find the compression index value (Cc). Should be something like 0.20. Then, use the classical formula, found in any geotech book:
S = [Cc/(1+eo)*log ((po+Dp)/po)]*H(thickness of soil)
