The classical Terzaghi Theory was extended by accounting for the variations of permeability during consolidation. With the aid of X-ray techniques, investigations on the significance of the variation of permeability, as well as the variations of void ratio and effective pressure, were conducted. Effects of the conventional consolidometer boundary on consolidation testing were studied. / Thesis / Master of Engineering (ME)
