Results from drained triaxial shearing tests at effective confining pressures of 100, 200 and 300 kPa performed on LBS at an axial displacement rate of 1 mm/h (tests 1–9 and 12–15): (a) average AE rate (RDC/min) measured at peak dilatancy (i.e. q/p′max) plotted against effective confining pressure; (b) average AE rate (RDC/min) measured at peak dilatancy normalised by the mean effective confining pressure plotted against dilation rate Refer to the image caption for details.
