Summary
One-dimensional Consolidation
refers to the process by which soil
Decreases in volume
due to the
Expulsion of water
under an
Applied load
, primarily occurring in a
Vertical direction
. This phenomenon is crucial in
Geotechnical Engineering
for
Predicting settlement
of structures over time, ensuring their
Stability and longevity
.
