ONE-DIMENSIONAL COMPRESSION AND WAVE VELOCITY TESTS

Abstract

ONE PORTION OF THE Soil Dynamics Research effort during the past year is described. Included are: (1) A general discussion of the stress-strain relationship for particulate masses; (2) Specifications for the preparation of fat, backswamp clay samples by static compaction; (3) Data concerning creep, using a load rise-time of 30 millisec; (4) Description of a preliminary attempt to measure pore pressures during compression creep; (5) Data concerning the sonic dilitational wave velocity in a core of soft clay; and (6) Description of a preliminary attempt to measure the sonic dilitational wave velocity in a soft clay sample during consolidation.
