GRAIN DIFFUSION AND DISPERSION OF CLAYEY SOILS IN A CONSOLIDATION PHENOMENON

Abstract

In this study, the phenomena of grain diffusion and dispersion were considered and the effects of time rates of settlement on consolidation were discussed. It was shown that time rates of settlement can be considered throughout the consolidation process of a soil in terms of grain diffusion and dispersion. For this reason, consolidation tests were performed on soil samples taken from a specific region in Adana Turkey in order to investigate and evaluate diffusive and dispersive characteristic of the region. By comparing the obtained experimental results to theoretical counterparts, it was seen that the results were in a very close aggreement to each other. These results were also compared to each other in order to observe the effect of plasticity of a clayey soil in grain diffusion and dispersion
