Lec #21 (Consolidation Problems)

The document provides an overview of consolidation concepts including total stress, effective stress, preconsolidation pressure, compression index, recompression index, coefficient of consolidation, Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation theory, and settlement calculations for normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays. It includes definitions of key terms and equations for computing consolidation settlement. Several practice problems are presented to demonstrate applying the concepts to calculate settlement.
