Summary
Terzaghi's Consolidation Equation
is a
Fundamental principle in soil mechanics
that describes the
Time-dependent Settlement
of
Saturated soil layers
under load. It integrates the concepts of
Effective Stress
,
Soil Compressibility
, and permeability to predict how quickly and how much a soil layer will compress.
