Abstract: The article offers information on the routine triaxial compression tests for the measurement of the effective shear strength of soils and test procedures. Topics discussed include information on the effect of side drains on soil permeablity; discussions on the measurement of initial pore water pressure; and the information on the use of initial effective stress for triaxial tests.

Subjects :: SOIL compaction
