CONSOLIDATION BEHAVIOR OF STRUCTURAL FILLS ON HACKENSACK VARVED CLAYS
This paper examines consolidation behavior at six sites in the Hackensack Meadows where varved clays were loaded with structural fill and light buildings. Although the available laboratory data indicate that the varved clay deposit is similar throughout the meadows, measurements of consolidation settlement at three sites in East Ruttherford show measured settlements that exceed the predicted consolidation settlements by a factor of 2.5. Three cases from other locations in the meadows show measured settlements that are less than the predicted settlements, which is the usual case. Possible explanations for the large settlements in East Rutherford are discussed. /Author/
