There is mounting evidence in favour of replacing the e against log10(s0v) diagram, conventionally used to represent soil compressibility in an oedometer, with a log(v) against log(s0v) diagram, which significantly improves the linearity of virgin loading and unloading paths.

Abstract
There is mounting evidence in favour of replacing the e against log10(s0v) diagram, conventionally used to represent soil compressibility in an oedometer, with a log(v) against log(s0v) diagram, which significantly improves the linearity of virgin loading and unloading paths. This paper presents a simple, new formulation of the ‘intrinsic’ compression and ‘sedimentation’ compression lines for a range of insensitive, sedimentary marine clays presented in Burland’s 1990 Rankine Lecture by using a log(v) against log(s0v) interpretation of the data.File in questo prodotto:
