Title: THE INFLUENCE OF PORE-WATER PRESSURES 0N LABORATORY VANE TESTS OM DILATANT SOILS
Authors: SCHROEDER, JOHN
Advisor: Wilson, N, E.
Department: Civil Engineering
Keywords: Engineering
Publication Date: Apr-1963
Abstract: This thesis describes a study of the influence of pore-water pressures on the measurement of shear strength of remolded silt by the laboratory vane apparatus. A device to prepare saturated soil samples and an experimental technique to measure pore-water pressures on the failure surface produced by rotation of the vane are discussed. Experimental results of vane tests conducted in conjunction with pore-water pressure measurements on remolded silt samples and laminated silt samples arc presented and discussed.
