Solution charts for finite strain consolidation of normally consolidated clays

Article Abstract:

The authors discuss the use of solution charts for nonlinear geotechnical problems such as soil compressibility and hydraulic conductivity. The authors find that previous works on the subject are educationally unsound and require more development in order to function properly.
