Preliminary Design Study for a Dynamic Soil Testing Laboratory. Appendixes K, L, M, and N.

Abstract

Four laboratory experiments performed on small samples of soils are discussed. The experiments were designed to furnish certain information on soil behavior needed for the design of a dynamic soil testing laboratory. The four experiments studied friction angles of sands at low confining pressures side friction in the consolidation test, failure conditions in hollow soil cylinders, and failures in tubes surrounded by soil. The apparatus and procedures used in each case are described, and typical data and results are presented.
