Abstract: The cyclic liquefaction resistance of intact medium dense specimens of sands and silts obtained from offshore platform sites was compared to that of specimens reconstituted to the same values of shear wave velocity. The ...

Abstract: There is considerable uncertainty in the determination of effective stress strength parameters of cemented soils from undrained triaxial tests. Large negative excess pore pressures are generated at relatively large strains ...

Abstract: Characterizing the strength of weakly cemented and sensitive soils in the laboratory is difficult because of the difficulty in obtaining high-quality replicate samples necessary for defining the failure envelope. Multistage ...
