Abstract: An experimental study on the effects of nonplastic silt on the three-dimensional drained behavior of loose sand was performed employing a true triaxial testing apparatus. Laboratory experiments were performed on clean sand ...

Abstract: The results from an experimental study on silty sands are presented and evaluated in view of the framework of critical-state or steady-state soil mechanics. Drained and undrained compression tests were performed on Nevada ...

Abstract: The results from an experimental study on sands with high nonplastic silt content are presented. Drained and undrained triaxial compression tests, undrained cyclic triaxial tests, and drained/undrained instability tests ...

Abstract: An experimental study on granular materials in triaxial extension at confining pressures from 0.25 to 68 MPa is presented. Drained and undrained tests were performed utilizing cylindrical specimens. Strain localization was ...

Abstract: Triaxial compression tests on sand have been performed to study stability and plastic yielding in the postpeak softening regime. Softening occurs in dense sand sheared at low confining pressure. The experiments show that ...

Abstract: The results of an experimental study of granular materials at high pressures are presented. Axisymmetric specimens of dense Cambria sand were tested in drained triaxial compression tests between confining pressures of 0.05 ...

Abstract: The results from an experimental study of undrained granular material behavior at high pressures are presented. Axisymmetric specimens of dense Cambria sand were tested in undrained triaxial compression tests between initial ...

Abstract: Drained triaxial compression tests on crushed coral sand were performed from near-static strain rates to very high strain rates (up to approximately
