Influence of Load Duration and Load Ratio on Preconsolidation Pressure
Preconsolidation pressure is a very important parameter, which describes the stress history and affects the behavior of the cohesive soil in geotechnical engineering.

Preconsolidation pressure from piezocone tests in marine clays [PDF]
Piezocone penetration tests were carried out at five sites in marine clay with overconsolidation ratios ranging from 1·3 to 4·8 A simple model for the behaviour of these clays indicates that the effective vertical yield stress mobilized along the cone axis during penetration is equal to the difference between the actual induced total vertical stress ...

MODELING OF SOIL LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY AS A FUNCTION OF SOIL MECHANICAL RESISTANCE TO PENETRATION
Estimation of soil load-bearing capacity from mathematical models that relate preconsolidation pressure (σp) to mechanical resistance to penetration (PR) and gravimetric soil water content (U) is important for defining strategies to prevent compaction of

On the evaluation of pre-consolidation pressure of undisturbed saturated clays
The objective of this research was to show the effect of sample disturbance on the values of pre-consolidation pressure бc by using Schmertmann method. A prediction of бc form pocket penetrometer is also achieved.

Loading rate effect on mechanical properties of an unsaturated silty sand [PDF]
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the effects of testing rate on stress-strain behavior and volumetric changes of soil. A series of suction-controlled triaxial tests has been performed on reconstituted specimens of a silty sand (

Physical properties of a Brazilian sandy loam soil after the traffic of a military vehicle M113 BR [PDF]
Soil physical properties can be changed after vehicle traffic, especially by heavy military tracked vehicles. The Santa Maria military Instruction Field, where the experiment was carried out, is currently the most used area for armored tracked vehicles ...
