| Abstract | Twenty one published case records of pore pressure measurement on soft ground are compiled and are classified into Classes A, B, & C, depending on the quality of the available data. All the cases are reviewed critically. Assuming undrained conditions, theoretical pore pressure computations are carried out on Class A cases for initial stages of loading/ unloading, using various combinations of simple elastic theories of stress distributions and these are compared with the pore pressure developed during construction. It is concluded that no exact method can be used for accurately predict pore pressures. Only field measurements give reliable values. |
