    Ciśnienia prekonsolidowania - wykorzystanie w praktyce inżynierskiej
    (Wydawnictwa AGH, 2009) Suchnicka, Hanna Barbara
    In the opinion of some scientists and engineers the knowledge of the preconsolidation pressure [formula] is a requisite for the evaluation of subsoil subsidence. The aim of the present paper is to demonstrate that such knowledge is not required in every instance. The problem is discussed taking as examples several compressibility curves for soils exhibiting different types of overconsolidation (due to unloading or aging, or of a structural nature) which is related to the stress value. It seems worth remembering that the compressibility of normally consolidated soils decreases when stresses increase. This means that the stress interval where the relations ([formula]) are linear becomes wider.
