Abstract

Axisymmetric solutions, which are applied in the consolidation calculations of a semi-infinite clay stratum with impeded boundaries, are derived. Laplace and Hankel integral transforms are utilized with respect to time and radial coordinates, respectively in the analysis. The derivation of fundamental solutions considered two boundaryvalue problems involving unit point loading and ring loading in the vertical direction. The solutions are extended to circular distributed normal load. The computation of settlements, shearing stress and excess pore pressure in the consolidating layer subject to circular distributed loading are presented.
