The Tiller – Flotten research site: Geotechnical characterization of a very sensitive clay deposit

The simplified laboratory tests incorporate the Soil Abrasion Test (SAT™), quartz content measurements, and the geotechnical uniformity index C u. Test results have been

Failure load determined by laboratory tests and the strength prediction model in (a) four- point bending tests and (b) quasi-static pressure tests.. For the shock tube tests, the

The soil conductivity in clays has contributions from both the pore water and the minerals (Waxman and Smits 1968; Glover et al., 2000), explaining the non-coherent trend

In the absence of site-specific measurement, guidelines for estimating V s profiles based on correlations with in situ penetration tests, soil index parameters and undrained

Level 2 is when additional information is available from laboratory tests such total unit weight and index strength tests (e.g., Fall Cone) and also in situ tests (e.g.,

Results of the static undrained triaxial tests in compression are presented as shear stress (τ) and pore pressure (u) versus axial strain (ε a ), and as shear stress versus

This paper presents a multivariate database from commercial projects consisting of evaluated shear strengths obtained from direct simple shear tests and fall cone tests (which

The results of many types of laboratory tests also strongly depend on the estimate of K 0 (e.g. small strain shear modulus, G max , from resonant column tests, strength and
