Abstract
Different reasonable probability distributions can be assigned for the coefficient of consolidation, C. But if no more than the first few probability moments of the excess pore pressure and of the degree of consolidation which are functions of C are of concern, it is advantageous to use a simpler, distribution-free method for matching probability moments of C. In this note, the method of discretization of probability is used to analyze one-dimensional consolidation. The solutions, influenced by the probability moments of third, fourth, and fifth order of C, are presented. Key words : probability, discretization, coefficient of consolidation, excess pore pressure, degree of consolidation, moments, random variable.
