Abstract

In this study, the results of a series of consolidation test for undisturbed Ariake clay in Japan were analyzed by three methods, e-log p (e: void ratio, p: consolidation pressure), log e-log p and n-log p (n: porosity). Moreover, the characteristics of each analysis method were studied. For undisturbed Ariake clay, the log o-Log p and the n-log p relationships can be found as two groups of straight lines of different gradients, but both the elastic consolidation and plastic consolidation regions of e-log p relationship are expressed as a curve. In this paper, the porosity of consolidation yield n$\_$y/, consolidation yield stress p$\_$y/, and the gradient of the plastic consolidation region C$\_$p/ were represented by the log e-log p method, and n$\_$c/, P$\_$cn/ and C$\_$cn/ were represented by the n-log p method. The meaning and the relationships of each value were studied, and the interrelationships among compression indices i.e. C$\_$cn/, C$\_$p/ and C$\_$c/ are obtained from each analysis method as a function of initial porosity n$\_$0/.
