Analysis and assessment of sampling disturbance of soft sensitive clays Available to Purchase

The in-situ deposits that are encountered in engineering practice acquire inherent characteristics depending on stress, time and environment. Although great strides have been made in the in-situ testing and evaluation of engineering parameters for practice, laboratory testing cannot be dispensed with owing to its specific advantages in exercising control over boundary conditions and the simulation of subsequent loading and other environmental conditions. Hence undisturbed sampling of soils is inevitable. It would be valuable to have a procedure for quantification of sample disturbance, so that simple corrections could be made to other standard laboratory tests to allow for it. In this...
