THE EFFECT OF SAMPLING DISTURBANCE ON UNDRAINED STRENGTH OF COHESIVE SOILS. SYMPOSIUM ON RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN LABORATORY AND FIELD TESTS AND ANALYSIS OF GEOTECHNICAL PROBLEMS. ASIAN INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, BANGKOK, THAILAND, 6-9 DECEMBER 1983

The present research attempts to obtain more accurate information on the effect of the mechanical disturbance due to sample preparation on undrained strength of saturated cohesive soils with different plasticity index by monitoring the pore pressure at all stages of the tests. The authors postulate that the samples are always fully saturated. Four types of cohesive soil were used in the experiments, two were Kawasaki clay and the other two were artificial soils called tit mixtures which consist of Kawasaki clay mixed with crushed Toyoura sand. Details are given of the tests and the results of the tests. For the covering abstract of the symposium see IRRD 809912. (TRRL)
