Strain-Rate Selection In The Constant-Rate-Of-Strain Consolidation Test, C. Thomas Gorman
Strain-Rate Selection In The Constant-Rate-Of-Strain Consolidation Test, C. Thomas Gorman
Kentucky Transportation Center Research Report
Constant-rate-of-strain (CRS) consolidation tests were performed on remolded kaolinite specimens. The effect of strain rate on CRS test data is shown. A relation between soil parameters and strain rate was developed and used to formulate a strain-rate selection procedure. The fmal selectlon procedure is based on liquid limit and initial degree of saturation of the specimen and is presented in graphical form. The procedure is applicable to all types of soils.
