@BigH: Those samples are all fibrous peat but with different degree of decomposition. However, fibers are still can be observed. Actually, because of the reinforcement effect of fibers, it could be understandable about the high effective friction angles of organic soils.
@GeoPaveTraffic: The third button "DOWNLOAD" on the top right of the page to download the file to your computer. Then you can see all the graph and calculation inside by Excel. Thanks!
Thanks for the answer. I posted two links and only the second one works. You might want to download from the link that I posted right above your answer.
I agree with you that I do expect peat to contract. However, for almost all of the samples I tested on, the results are pretty the same. I did...
I have attached the file in the previous post but I do not know why it was not shown there. I tried to attach the link to download the file here Link. Hope that this time it works.
The material that I'm working on is overconsolidated peat since it is right on the surface. Specific Gravity =...
Hi,
I'm doing CU tests but the results of the effective stress path are very funny. At first, it is parallel with the total stress path, then it moves fast to the right. I have changed new pore pressure sensor but the results are still the same. I did tests on many samples but the results are...
