摘要：
The present research concerns a comparative analysis of the possible methods for estimating soft silty clay permeability to be used in the analysis of consolidation. For this purpose the consolidation response of a thick and homogeneous, instrumented soft silty clay deposit, on which an embankment was constructed, is back-analyzed using the finite-element method. To model the consolidation process, permeability data are carefully determined both from laboratory and in situ piezocone tests. One-dimensional and triaxial permeability test data are compared with the results of piezocone dissipation tests, the latter interpreted using four different solutions. The effects of anisotropy on permeability characteristics influencing the consolidation rate are also discussed.
