Creep of Rockfill

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSE,volume 200))

Abstract

In geotechnical engineering, time-dependent settlement is normally associated with the process of consolidation. In this, settlement behaviour is determined by the rate at which water is able to flow from the voids under a hydraulic gradient, allowing particles to slide into a more compact arrangement.
