... in end-bearing in all three compression tests. The last compression test on the pile, which was carried out when all of the excess pore pressure set up by driving had dissipated, indicated an apparent Nc value of over 50 when applied to the in situ undrained shear strength of the boulder clay prior...

... results were generated using the ®nite element analysis program CRISP3 as modi®ed by Russell.4 6. The analyses presented in the paper assume that the subsoil remains undrained during embankment construction. Arguments in favour of the use of undrained shear strengths in stability analyses, allowing...

... with current interpretation techniques. Analysis is complicated by the cohesive and frictional properties of these materials, their brittle behaviour and the existence of joints and bedding planes. This paper brie¯y reviews the in¯uence of each of these factors and discusses whether drained or undrained...
