Application of the isotache law and the power creep law on prediction of long-term consolidation behaviour
In this study, it was shown that the isotache law is essentially the same as the power creep law, but the formulations of these two are different. The model equations are applied to the results of the multi-stepwise constant rate of strain (CRS) consolidation test. It was clarified that the isotache law (or power creep law) is applicable for the test result. Strain rate dependency of two Osaka Bay clays (marine clays collected from the Kansai International Airport and the Yumeshima Island) was discussed through comparison of isotache parameters.
