Investigation of Critical States and Failure in True Triaxial Tests of Clays

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Geomechanics and Geoengineering ((SSGG))

Summary

A detailed investigation of the true triaxial drained and undrained response of clays has been performed. This paper summarizes the main findings of this investigation, with emphasis placed on ascertaining the existence of critical states and on the variation of the failure state of the clay with principal stress difference.
