AXISYMMETRIC SQUEEZING TESTS ON SOFT CLAY

The apparatus and interpretation procedures for axisymmetric squeezing tests on soft clays are shown. Testing procedures are much simpler than the previously used plane strain tests. These tests may become practical when dealing with clays that occur in thin layers. Test results are consistent with results obtained by conventional triaxial tests. Both shear strength and plastic viscosity are obtained.
