Stress/Strain Distribution in Triaxial Compression Tests on a Sand,

Abstract

The influence of nonuniform stress and strain distribution, caused by end platen effects, on analysis of triaxial tests is studied through finite element calculations. End effects are found to affect significantly the homogeneity of stress in the specimen. (Author)
