On Comparing Simple Shear and Triaxial Test Results

Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 1984
It is indisputable that nonuniformities of stresses and strains exist in soils tested not only in the simple shear apparatus (SSA) but in the triaxial apparatus as well. These nonuniformities alone cannot explain the differences observed from the results of soils tests in the SSA and the triaxial apparatus.

Heterogeneous Fracture Slip and Aseismic‐Seismic Transition in a Triaxial Injection Test

Geophysical Research Letters, 2020
Fault/fracture slip and seismicity caused by fluid injection are of major interest to subsurface science and engineering. However, some fundamental aspects of the temporal and spatial evolutions of induced seismicity remain unresolved.

Geogrid Stabilization of Unbound Aggregates Evaluated Through Bender Element Shear Wave Measurement in Repeated Load Triaxial Testing

, 2020
This paper describes the use of the bender element (BE) shear wave measurement technology for quantifying the effectiveness of geogrid stabilization of unbound aggregate materials with improved mechanical properties from repeated load triaxial testing ...

Strength of Sands in Wedge Shear, Triaxial Shear, and Shear Box Tests

Geotechnical Testing Journal, 2007
Abstract Limited tests had indicated peak drained values of angle of internal friction Φ of gravelly sands measured in the cylindrical wedge shear test (cylwest) to be relatively closer to the Φ expected from plane strain tests than from triaxial tests.

Sand Liquefaction in Triaxial and Simple Shear Tests

Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 1971
Data from cyclic loading simple shear and triaxial tests indicate that the important variable controlling the incidence of liquefaction in a given number of cycles in a saturated sand at a particular void ratio is the initial effective stress ratio; the ratio of the peak alternating shear stress to the initial effective mean normal stress.

Triaxial Shear Tests on Pervious Gravelly Soils

Journal of the Soil Mechanics and Foundations Division, 1956
Tests to determine shear characteristics of free draining gravelly soils; relations between shear resistance and density, amount of gravel, gradation, maximum particle size, and particle shape; effect of testing speed on shear test data and effect of specimen size for any maximum particle size up to 3 in.

Triaxial test behaviour of silty sands treated with agar biopolymer

International Journal of Geotechnical Engineering, 2019
In the current research, the study of undrained behaviour of agar biopolymer treated natural silty sand obtained from Kalpetta, Kerala was done. An experimental investigation was carried out to study the undrained behaviour of silty sand and biopolymer ...

Comparative study of shear strength characteristics of dry cohesionless sands from triaxial, plane-strain and direct shear tests

Geomechanics and Geoengineering, 2019
Knowledge of strength properties and deformational behaviour of soils under different loading conditions is necessary in the analysis of most of the geotechnical engineering problems.

Behavior of an MBT waste in monotonic triaxial shear tests

Waste Management, 2013
Legislation in some parts of the world now requires municipal solid waste (MSW) to be processed prior to landfilling to reduce its biodegradability and hence its polluting potential through leachate and fugitive emission of greenhouse gases. This pre-processing may be achieved through what is generically termed mechanical-biological-treatment (MBT ...
