DILATANCY CHARACTERISTICS OF NORMALLY CONSOLIDATED COHESIVE SOILS

Coefficient of dilatancy of clays is shown to be linearly related to their plasticity index. Undrained test results on twelve soils comprising natural reconstituted clays and clay-sand mixtures form the basis of the proposed correlation. Different correlation is obtained with variation in either consolidation history and stress path during undrained shear. (Author/TRRL)
