Engineering Properties of Clay Shales. Report 3. Preliminary Triaxial Test Program on Taylor Shale from Laneport Dam.

Abstract

Three triaxial tests were conducted on clay shale specimens from Laneport Dam. The specimens were 3 in. long by 1.4 in. in diameter. The purpose of the test program was to evaluate the influence of temperature variation on pore pressure in clay shale, and stress-strain and pore pressure behavior due to incremental isotropic and axial and lateral stress changes. The results of this experimental program are given in this report.
