Abstract: When sandy soils respond in a strain-softening manner to undrained loading, an estimation of the resulting undrained shear strength (S-u) is required to determine the potential for flow liquefaction at a given site. One of the most commonly used methods for estimating the undrained...

Abstract: A review of underground openings, excavated in varying rock mass types and conditions, indicates that the initiation of brittle failure occurs when the damage index, Di, expressed as the ratio of the maximum tangential boundary stress to the laboratory unconfined compressive strength...

An approach to evaluation of field CPTU dissipation data in overconsolidated fine-grained soils

Campanella, R., Robertson, P. K., Woeller, D., Sully, J.
Abstract: Dissipation of excess pore pressures during piezocone testing in firm to stiff overconsolidated fine-grained soils provides data curves that cannot be interpreted using published theoretical solutions. Available solutions are based on either cavity-expansion or strain-path methods,...
