Abstract: The unique mechanical properties of Mexico City soils plot as extreme values on most geotechnical engineering charts. The purpose of this study is to analyze salient properties and to propose conceptual models to explain ...

Abstract: Yielding is an important feature of the stress‐strain behavior of lightly overconsolidated clays. This paper describes tests on 36‐mm triaxial samples of natural Mexico City clay. The specimens are carefully trimmed, ...
