Upload NowPresently, there are several tasks in hydrology, which need application of suitable models for their accomplishment. To decide suitability of a particular model, first the user should look at the availability of the data and model requirements, and then, a suitable model should be chosen for performing the task. Few of the hydrological tasks are […]

Mechanism of Consolidation: Terzaghi’s Soil-Spring Analogy | Soil Engineering
Article shared by : 
The mechanism of consolidation was explained by Terzaghi with the help of a spring-dashpot model using soil-spring analogy. 1. Spring-Dashpot Model: Figure 11.1 shows a dashpot consisting of a cylinder containing a spring supporting a piston. The cylinder is completely filled with water and has an outlet valve to regulate the outflow. Let the initial […]
