I have received some triaxial CIU test results, and the stress path indicates that the samples contracted until 7 to 10% strain, then started to dilate. The deviator stress continued to increase even after the pore pressure reached its peak.
Is it reasonable to consider peak effective shear...
Hi everyone,
I usually process CPT data to estimate the state parameter and define if the soil is contractive or dilative. However in my last project I was told that I should consider undrained parameters (USR) to characterize a embankment built enterally with cohesive clay that showed...
