Study on Prediction of Pore Pressure Development without Membrane Compliance Based on <i>C_m</i>

Abstract

In undrained triaxial tests, membrane penetration varies with the change of effective confining pressure. Membrane compliance correction is a necessary step to accurately obtain the dynamic characteristics of soils in geotechnical tests. In this paper, a real-time instrument compensation equipment was adopted to eliminate membrane compliance The influence of membrane compliance on pore pressure was explained from experimental perspective, and a two-stage formula was proposed to establish the relationship between the optimized membrane correction coefficient Cm and the normalized pore pressure
