THE EFFECTS OF INSTALLATION DISTURBANCE ON INTERPRETATION OF IN-SITU TESTS IN CLAY uri icon

abstract

  • Describes an analytical framework for predicting in situ test measurements using: the Strain Path Method, to simulate soil disturbances caused by device installation; and a generalized effective stress soil model (MIT-E3), which is capable of modelling the anisotropic stress-strain response of soft clays. Predictions of piezocone penetration are evaluated through direct comparison with field measurements in Boston Blue clay. The analyses show that undrained shear strength can be estimated reliably from the measured cone resistance or tip pore pressures. -from Authors
