STUDY OF SOIL BEHAVIOR UNDER HIGH PRESSURE. REPORT 1. VOLUME 1. RESPONSE OF TWO RECOMPACTED SOILS TO VARIOUS STATES OF STRESS

Abstract

This report is concerned with the load-deformation characteristics of two field soils under confining pressures up to 10,000 psi. A wide variety of stress states were imposed upon partially saturated compacted specimens of soil which were obtained from two test sites, one in the United States and the other in Canada. The tests were performed with a high-pressure triaxial cell and the stress states included hydrostatic compression, triaxial shear, constant stress ratio tests, and no-lateral-strain tests. Cyclic loading was accomplished during many of the tests.
