Jamiolkowski, M., Bellotti, R., Ghionna, V., Peterson, R. W., Robertson, P.
The pressuremeter is a unique method for assessing directly the in situ shear stiffness of soils. However, the correct interpretation and application of the measured modulus must account for the relevant stress and strain level acting around the pressuremeter during the test. A method to correct...

Lord, E. R. F., Hofmann, B. A., Fourie, A. B., Mikular, J., Robertson, P. K.
An opportunity to re–examine the liquefaction potential of hydraulically placed tailings sand has been provided by the Canadian Liquefaction Experiment (CANLEX). As part of this experiment, undisturbed samples of tailings sand were recovered after freezing the tailings in situ. Examination of...

Abstract: The Berkeley trigger criterion for evaluating the potential for earthquake-induced phenomena in sandy soils is reviewed in this paper. The historical database comprising the criterion is reconsidered using a consistent ''weakest-link-in-the-chain'' approach. Revised plots of average...

Robertson, P. K., Cunning, J. C., Sego, D. C., Sasitharian, S.
Abstract: The initial state of a sand, defined by the void ratio and effective mean normal stress, can be used to predict its large-strain response. Laboratory studies have shown that the shear-wave velocity of a sand is controlled primarily by the effective confining stresses and void ratio....
