Prediction and analysis of Consolidation and Secondary Settlement Behavior through the Inflection Point Method: Evaluation with Excess Pore Water Pressure and Settlement Measurements




Prediction and analysis of Consolidation and Secondary Settlement Behavior through the Inflection Point Method: Evaluation with Excess Pore Water Pressure and Settlement Measurements


Researchers proposed methods to predict soil settlement based on settlement observations. The inflection point method is particularly interesting. In this paper, this method is utilized to analyze settlement behavior of well-documented case histories found in the literature. Results reveal that the inflection point method yields accurate predictions and provides valuable insights, leading to a better understanding of the consolidation rate and variability of secondary compression in soils
