Discussion of "Effects of sample disturbance in geotechnical design".

The author offers a geotechnical practitioner's perspective on the 2019 study conducted by G. T. Lim and colleagues which investigated the effects of sample disturbance in geotechnical design. Topics discussed include the laboratory tests performed on Ballina clay samples, the demonstration of stress-strain relations from unconsolidated undrained (UU) triaxial compression tests, and the estimated consolidation settlements of the clay tested under embankment load.
