Strain Rate, Creep, and Stress Drop-Creep Experiments on Crushed Coral Sand

Abstract

The part of sand behavior that is affected by time, such as creep, relaxation, and loading rate effects are not similar to those observed for clay. To throw more light on the time effects in sand, many series of drained triaxial compression experiments have been performed on crushed coral sand. These tests were all performed with a constant effective confining pressure of
