Understanding Normally Consolidated Clay by James Kyle Apa-ap is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Normally consolidated clay is clay that has never been subjected to stress higher than the present stress. An example is soil beneath a newly constructed building, which experiences greater pressure from the building mass than before construction. The formula for primary consolidation settlement in normally consolidated clay is: Sc = CcH(Po + ΔP/Po)log(Po + ΔP/Po), where Sc is settlement, Cc is compressibility index, H is clay thickness, ΔP is increase in effective stress, and Po is original effective str
