TRIAXIAL AND SHEAR TESTING OF SELECTED BACKFILL MATERIALS [PDF]
, 2000 The Subsurface Performance Testing Section is performing tests in the Department of Energy's Atlas Facility to evaluate the performance of various backfill materials. Triaxial and shear tests were conducted on select backfill materials. The specific materials tested were: crushed tuff, overton sand, 4- 10 silica sand, 1/4'' dolostone/marble, and ...

Liquefaction of Saturated Sand in Triaxial Torsion Shear Test
Soils and Foundations, 1972 ABSTRACT Strain-controlled cyclic torsion tests were run on a saturated sand using a triaxial torsion apparatus in which the vertical piston was designed so that its cross sectional area was equal to that of the specimen. In the first series of tests, a cyclic twist was applied while keeping the principal stress ratio constant.

On characteristics of K0 value and shear behaviour of loess using triaxial test [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAbstractCompared with conventional soils, such as sand and clay, little knowledge on the coefficient of lateral earth pressure at-rest (K0) has been established for loess in the current literature. This paper presents an experimental investigation on K0 of compacted loess and the associated impacts on undrained shear behaviour.

Undrained shear strength of partially saturated sand in triaxial tests
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2009 The undrained shear strength of partially saturated sand is examined based on a series of undrained triaxial compression and extension tests on Toyoura sand. The effects of partial saturation, density, and triaxial compression/extension modes are discussed in detail.

Shear and Liquefaction Characteristics of Sandy Soils in Triaxial Tests
Soils and Foundations, 2004 Reclaimed ground of Kobe Port Island liquefied during the 1995 Hyogoken-Nambu Earthquake. That ground had been created by reclaiming decomposed granite called Masado. In this research, shear and liquefaction characteristics of Masado were examined by conducting monotonic and cyclic triaxial tests. A similar experiment was also conducted on Toyoura sand
