Determination of Rheological Properties of Clayey Soils by the Relaxation Method

  • Soil Mechanics
  • Published:
Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering Aims and scope

Procedures are presented for determination of rheological properties based on the principle of stress relaxation in triaxial compression. An empirical relationship, which permits a reduction in the time required to conduct the experiments, is derived. Determinations of the ultimate long-term strength are presented.
