OVERCONSOLIDATION RATIO OF CLAYS FROM PENETRATION PORE PRESSURES. DISCUSSION CLOSURE

This is the closure to the discussion of the paper of the above title published in the February 1988, Vol 114, No. 2 of this journal. The authors discuss points raised by discussers regarding the existence of gradient of pore pressure around a penetrating cone, and the saturation of the porous elements. It is noted that PPD has been proposed as a general indicator of stress history. Due to soil structure differences it is unlikely that it will have univaersal application. however, site specific correlations may provide more consistent data than, for example, B sub q correlations. These and other aspects are discussed.
