Soil response at low stress in laminar box tilt table testing

The capability of direct in-soil measurement of shear stress and shear strain has been applied to 1 g tilt table laminar box tests. The aim of the study is to evaluate the stiffness response of the material tested under low to ultra-low vertical stresses. The tests were performed...

Laterally confined consolidation of slurried fine-grained soils, and critical state parameters

Abstract A series of one-dimensional, laterally confined consolidation tests was carried out on reconstituted and slurried clays. Reconstituted clay, prepared as a slurry, underwent loading and unloading in a rectangular cell in which null pressure gauges were installed in the wa...
