Abstract

Adopting the non-Darcy flow presented by Hansbo and considering the nonlinear compression and permeability characteristics of soils, the one-dimensional nonlinear consolidation problem of soft clays is investigated by means of a continuous drainage boundary. The numerical solutions of average consolidation degrees defined by settlement and excess pore water pressure are derived by using the finite difference method, and the correctness of these solutions is verified by comparing them with existing analytical and numerical solutions. Based on the proposed solutions, a parametric study is conducted to study the influence of interface parameter, non-Darcy flow parameter and soil nonlinearity on the consolidation behavior of soft clays. The results show that the solutions based on the continuous drainage boundary can be degenerated into the solutions based on the Terzaghi drainage boundary if the interface parameter is taken as a reasonable value. The soil consolidation behavior considering both non-Darcy seepage and nonlinear characteristics of soil is very complex.
