Consolidation and Void Ratio Testing of Porous Stone Soil Samples
This study focuses on the consolidation behavior of porous stone soil samples, analyzing the void ratio (Cc and Cs) in relation to vertical stress. It explores the change in void ratio versus vertical stress, as well as the settlement versus time. The research presents the time required for 50% consolidation (t50%) and the determination of the coefficient of consolidation (Cv) and permeability (k). The findings are derived from the relationship between settlement and time, providing valuable insights for engineering practices.
