Text Ishibashi So... x 199 (225 of 420) 9.3 Terzaghi's consolidation theory assumes (1) specimen is fully saturated, (2) water and solid components are incompressible, (3) Darcy's law is strictly applied, and (4) the flow of water is one dimensional. What will be the most critical shortcomings of these assumptions when the theory is applied to real field conditions? 9.4 A clay specimen was tested in a laboratory consolidation device, which was 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) thick and the top and the bottom boundaries were drained. A 50% consolidation time on the specimen was obtained as 28.4 minutes.
