813055 CREEP AND ONE-DIMENSIONAL CONSOLIDATION OF CLAY
SOILS (IN ~ ) Felix, B Paris: Laboratoire Central des Ponts et Chaussees, relx~rt LPC 9~, June 1980, 176P Relx~ts creep tests in an oedometer of clay frc~ Cubzac-les-Ponts ani presents a theory of consolidation incorporating stress path dependent creep of the soil skeleton. Gives a numerical solution of consolidation and also a simplified theory in terms of reduced variables. Avail: LCPC, 58 Boulevard Lefebvre, 75732 Paris Cedex 15, Prance

TECHNICAL NOTE Leroueil, S; Lebihan, J P; Tavenasj F Can Geotech J, VI7, N3, Aug 1980, P446-453 Proposes a rapid method in which the clay is loaded in a 'one-stage' loading to an axial stress in excess of the estimated Ireeonsolidation pressure. The preconsolidation pressure is determined fr~n observation of t h e pore p r e s s u r e dissipation within a few hours. 813062 ACCURACY CONDITION FOR CONSOLIDATION BY FINITE ~NTS Vermeer, P A; V~'z'ulJt, A Int J Nun Anal Meth Gec~ech, VS, NI, Jan-March

813058 CONSOLIDATION OF UNSATURATED SOILS INCLUDING SWELLING AND COLLAPSE BEKAVIOUR Lloret, A; Alonso, E E Geotechnique, V30, N4, Dec 1980, P~9-477 General equations expressing air and water continuity in an unsaturated soil farm the basis for a comprehensive model of volume change behaviour of unsaturated soil which takes into account recent experimental results, in particular the existence of state s~faces for volume change as a means to accommodate, within the same framework, swelling and collapse behavlour. A finite element method coupled with an implicit finite difference scheme has been used far solution. A limited number of cases hs~e been solved to show the capabilities of the method. A general method has also been developed to compute initial air and water Iressures as a result of undrained loading. 813059 UNIVERSAL COMPREssION INDE~ EQUATION Rendon-Herr ero, 0 J Geotech Engng Div ASCE, V106, NC~I%I, Nov 1980, Pl179-1200 An expression is developed empgrically which relates virgin compression index with instantaneous zero-air-voids curve slope, and which is
Finite element solutions of consolidation problems often exhibit oscillating pore pressures, which tend to increase when the time steps are reduced. T~ds phenomenon is investigated and a lower limit for the t~me steps is derived, in terms of the mesh size and the coefficient of consolidation near the draining boundsry.
