What Does CAP Stand For?
CAP stands for Consolidation By Atmospheric Pressure
CAP, or Consolidation By Atmospheric Pressure, refers to a geotechnical process used to enhance the mechanical properties of soil by applying pressure through atmospheric means. This technique is essential in construction and civil engineering, as it improves soil stability and load-bearing capacity by reducing pore water pressure and increasing effective stress. CAP is often utilized in areas requiring ground improvement, such as embankments, foundations, and earthworks, to ensure structural integrity and durability.
