MEMBRANE PENETRATION IN TRIAXIAL TESTS

Interpretation of data of the writers and other investigators relating to volume changes due to membrane penetration in sands of different grain sizes has led to the following conclusions: 1. Volume changes due to membrane penetration are influenced by the following primary factors: (a) Grain size; (b) effective confining pressure; (c) density index; and (d) geometry of sample. 2. These volume changes can be predicted with reasonable accuracy. 3. The effect of membrane penetration can be considerably minimized by adopting large diameter test samples, and with other parameters remaining constant. (Author)
