The reducing of additional stress due to groundwater submergence is studied; and the influence of the variation of additional stress on final settlement is analyzed. The consolidation settlement formulas taking into consideration submergence of small-strain and large-strain are derived. The results from several numerical examples are analyzed and compared. It is shown that the influence of submerge on consolidation settlement of ground increases with load
soil compressibility and thickness of soil
The calculating value of consolidation settlement using large-strain consolidation theory is rather accord with actual examples.
