    Abstract

    In normally clays and silts, excess pore pressures due to piezocone penetration show a monotonically decreasing response with time, but dissipation tests performed in heavily overconsolidated soils show dilatory behavior. Therefore, available solutions proposed for normally consolidated soils do not adequately evaluate the response of pore water pressure in overconsolidated soils. In order to predict the coefficient of consolidation in non-standard dissipation curve, the distribution characteristics of individual excess pore pressure components (Δu oct & Δu shear) are studied. The influence zones of the octahedral and shear components due to penetration are estimated by theoretical framework and experimental method. In this study, the predicted distribution results at OCR=10 and OCR=20 are compared by the piezocone penetration results in Korea University Calibration Chamber.
