Empirical settlement predictions in overconsolidated Champlain Sea clays
Keyword(s):
Using settlement observations published for several embankments on marine clays of the Champlain Sea, an empirical model is proposed to estimate long-term settlements. The effect of the overconsolidation ratio is taken into consideration within the model. Footing- and raft-type foundation cases are considered to give guidelines when using the model for these foundation types. A specific embankment resting on a foundation of high water content clay with a high compressibility index demonstrates that a correction factor should be applied under these conditions.Key words: settlement, embankment, Champlain Sea clay, consolidation, empirical model.
