...Vincenzo Silvestri; Riad Diab; Ghassan Abou Samra; Christian Bravo-Jonard This paper presents the results of undrained plane strain expansion tests of hollow cylindrical specimens of normally consolidated clay. The stress-strain curves and the total stress paths are first deduced from...

...KR Reddy; SK Saxena; JS Budiman A stress-controlled, flexible boundary, true (or cubical) triaxial apparatus has been developed to investigate the behavior of cemented sand under various stress paths which are not achievable using conventional axisymmetric triaxial apparatus. The apparatus...

... the equipment used induces different boundary conditions to the soil samples. It evaluates the predictions submitted to the workshop and examines the adequacy of the various classes of models in predicting simple and complicated stress paths using results obtained from standard tests.

...JC Santamarina; DJ Goodings Data are presented of geotechnical centrifuge models of reinforced soil retaining walls in which the effects on wall behavior of differences between prototype and model, boundary effects, stress paths, instrumentation, and model repeatability are studied. TECHNICAL NOTE...

...-mechanism, automatic measurements, pore pressure, liquefaction, stress paths, anisotropy dently controlled for running tests in the Imperical College hollow cylinder apparatus HCA [5], in which the inner and outer cell pressures may not be equal. This makes manual control of the tests complex and time...

...D Bouvard; P Stutz A special triaxial apparatus allowing for a gammametric measurement of local density is used to study the influence of experimental conditions in triaxial tests. Compression tests performed along different stress paths and classical extension tests provide reliable results...
