Effects of end restraint in triaxial tests on coarse-grained soil
The end restraint can be eliminated by lubrication sample cap to some extent in the conventional triaxial tests. A comparison is made between the conventional triaxial tests and the end friction reduced triaxial tests in order to study the effects of the

On how to accurately testing compressive strength of soils under low confining pressure
It is important to study the stress deformation and stability of foundation by accurately testing the strength index of soils. For the triaxial tests under low confining pressures (less than 100 kPa), the influences of the piston friction and the rubber ...
