This paper compares the theories of finite strain consolidation developed by Gibson, England and Hussey (1967) and Mikasa (1963). It is shown that these theories, though independently developed are quite similar. The only difference is that the theory developed by Mikasa inherently assumes a process of rapid sedimentation in which a layer is instantaneously formed at a constant initial void ratio, while the Gibson-England-Hussey theory is unrestricted with regard to its initial conditions. |
